Answer 4

David D is pretty much correct.  If you use a GUI front-end to update (everything uses apt, so you are using apt anyhow) open your update manager and look for the Java package using that.  Just to make sure that it's the right package for your system, you should probably also open a terminal and type "sudo apt-cache search java"

Answer 5

Synaptic package manager if that doesn't work.
