How do I install Java on Xandros? Is there an apt-get way to install it?

[arochester]

It's a few years since I used Xandros. Can you not install Java via:

Xandros Networks. Keep your system up to date with the latest Xandros updates. Download and install new software from the Xandros online library with one click.
