It's fairly easy - just open a terminal and give:
*sudo add-apt-repository ppa:java-gnome/ppa*
*sudo apt-get update*
*sudo apt-get install java-gnome*
The first command adds the PPA to your software sources.
The second one updates the package index of your system.
The third one actually installs the software.
