Wow, its cool to have someone to talk to. Yeah i just didn't read the CLI output, I had to download the doc's from sun's website. The java documentation is installed but eclipse doesn't see it. The reason why eclipse is so popular is because of its auto completion and built-in java doc. Its shocking to see eclipse without it, i had to download the binary distribution from sf.net . Like i said there is a bigger issue here if you are assuming that people people won't use Java on Ubuntu or that people don't need to see documentation while writing code.
I have everything working now, but I couldn't use apt for all of it which is unfortunate. Thanks, Michael.
