Solution 1

Ubuntu does not have rpm installer in it. It uses deb package manager derived from debian. Find a deb package for JDK or convert your rpm to deb using "Alien" program, check instructions here[^].

[EDIT] Check this link[^]; It has ubuntu JDK 6 package [/EDIT]

Solution 2

You can use aptitude to get JDK 1.6 from Ubuntu repositories, just type into a shell: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
