You're asking the wrong mailing list.

Java 5 SE is obsolete technology.  The public releases are no longer
supported by Sun:

<http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html>

You should switch to Java 6 or OpenJDK.

Thanks All,

I found a way to perform that,by enable Jaunty repo on the Karmic so I
can use the software packages that karmic doesn't suuport

Here are the steps :-

System->Administration->Software Sources.
Choose the Third-Party Software tab and hit Add, then enter:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse

This will enable just the multiverse repo from Jaunty where
sun-java5-jdk resides. Allow it to reload the package list and then
your 'apt-get install' command should find the package..
