Installing Oracle JDK 7 in Ubuntu

Despite the latest security issues with Java, I still use Java as a development platform. The easiest way to install Java in Ubuntu I have found is by adding a custom repository, and webupd8's repository has served me well.

The step-by-step guide for adding Java JDK7 to Ubuntu is as follows:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
