To get the latest sun java 6 JRE on a ubuntu machine using apt-get I've used the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#JRE_only
I've also use open JDK for java 6 on ubuntu without issue. You will want to edit cassandra-env.sh to enable the jamm memory meter though, just comment out the if statement and leave the JVM_OPS… line un commented.
