The official Java was removed from the Ubuntu repository.
You can install it with one of this way:

-
1. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
2. Insert and run this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
