You can install it from Michael Rutter's PPA: sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:marutter/c2d4u sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava
The last time I tried the official Ubuntu repository, rJava still did not work under R 3.0.x (because R 3.0.x requires recompiling all R packages). I'm not sure if that has changed or not. Michael's repository has been working well for me (including many other R packages that have system dependencies).
