Installing Java 7 on ubuntu 12.10 (fixed)

I recently had an issue with my guide on getting Oracle's Java 7 installed on Ubuntu 12.10.   sudo apt-get install python-software-properties no longer seems to add the "add-apt-repository" command line tool.  Instead you need to use sudo apt-get install software-properties-common.   Michal mentioned this change at http://linuxg.net/how-to-fix-error-sudo-add-apt-repository-command-not-found/ [1] in a comment.

Here are the commands to install Java 7 from Ubuntu 12.04 server.

>  sudo apt-get purge openjdk* >  sudo apt-get install software-properties-common >  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java >  sudo apt-get update >  sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer >  java -version
