The official java packages has been removed from the Ubuntu repositories. You can install open-jdk instead:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

If you need the real thing you need to install the oracle java package:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
