Amazon web services and ubuntu 10.04 ec2 instance

Question

I have created ubuntu 10.04 ec2 image and now I need to install tomcat apache and jdk6 on my instance but whenever I use the command sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Answer 1

Ubuntu doesn't have the Sun JDKs available by default so in /etc/apt/sources.list uncomment:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner

and then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

ec2-api-tools requires the multiverse lines in sources.list to be uncommented first (remember to apt-get update also).
