How to install Java on Ubuntu 14.04 with apt-get

Had to install Java on Ubuntu 14.04 today used THIS site do do it using apt-get:

The process is as follows:

Installing Oracle JDK (optional)

The Oracle JDK is the official JDK; however, it is no longer provided by Oracle as a default installation for Ubuntu.
You can still install it using apt-get. To install any version, first execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
Then, depending on the version you want to install, execute one of the following commands:

Oracle JDK 6

This is an old version but still in use.
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer

Oracle JDK 7

This is the latest stable version.
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
