To Install java on your intrepid use the following command:

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-plugin

To verify that the correct version of Java is installed the following command can be used:
java -version

This command will print the current version of java that is active. Should there be more than one version of Java be installed on the operating system, the following command can be used to list the available java versions:

update-java-alternatives -l

This command list all the available Java runtime environments on the Ubuntu system. To change from one version to another, the following command can be used:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s < JRE version >

Mostly 'JRE version' needs to be one of the folder name under /usr/lib/jvm/
