Sun Java packages have been dropped from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from the Multiverse section of Ubuntu archive. Ubuntu team is encouraging users to use OpenJDK instead of Sun JDK/JRE but still if you want to install Sun JDK on your Ubuntu then here is the solution:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk sudo update-alternatives --config java
It will install sun-java6-jdk from ubuntu partner repository.
