[ubuntu-uk] Setting JDK 6 as default Java alternative on Ubuntu

I've found tuts that tell me how to select from the java alternatives on my machine, but I've no idea how to add the JDKs I've insta

Cheers for that -- yeah, it's both quiet *and* tinny. I guess maybe I need to hunt around some settings, but all the ones I've checked so far are at 100%.
