“As announced last month, Canonical is preparing to remove the
Sun JDK (Java Development Kit) packages from the software
repositories, starting with February 16th, 2012, affecting Ubuntu
10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04.

“Users should not be worried, as Canonical will NOT remove the
Java packages from their systems! They will be removed ONLY from
the software repository and no future updates will be applied to
them.

“However, for new installations, the Sun JDK packages will no
longer be available, as they will be removed from the partner
archive.”
