If anyone has any comments or updates let me know and I will update the orginal post if I can. You can check out a post by me on the previous page for at least one way to update to java 7. :)

I missed that one, looks like it works, I stopped java, downloaded the embedded version which required me to register, I was doing a wget and didn't realize it wasn't downloading the real file, grrr oracle, but after messing around with that and finally getting the real file, it worked straight away. Not sure if they will keep the addon up to date but it does install the one you download.

I was looking at using another debian repo but it wanted to pull in a whole bunch of other stuff, upside would be they would keep it up to date but this appears to be cleaner for now.

I will think about updating the original post if possible and add some words about this method. Saves quite a few steps let me see what I can do, I'm a nix guy so cli is easy peasy for me, but I understand not the mainstream.
