jdk

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64). Some info about the machine:

$ grep --color "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
model name  : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5430  @ 2.66GHz
model name  : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5430  @ 2.66GHz
model name  : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5430  @ 2.66GHz
model name  : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5430  @ 2.66GHz

I need to install jdk5 to support an old application.

I have tried:

~$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-5-jdk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package openjdk-5-jdk

I have also tried:

~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package sun-java5-jdk

So its not available in the repos. I have tried to follow this guide (adding the jaunty repos):

http://leonardo-pinho.blogspot.dk/2010/11/java-15-no-ubuntu-1010.html

but same result.

Then I have tried to download jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin from here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase5-419410.html#jdk-1.5.0_22-oth-JPR

and do:

~$ chmod a+x jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin 
~$ sudo ./jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin

Any suggestions?
