Will Sun's Java be available from Canonical's partner repository?

In this article https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/Java6Transition I read that java from sun (now from oracle) is going to be dropped from the ubuntu repositories. Our company uses this to enable a java application. Since it's publicly available we're concerned about this.

I tried to find an exact date when it will be 'autoremove sun-java' and java applications would not work any longer. Will there be a warning before such drastic measures take place?

I read about the same thing on OMGUbuntu here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/java-to-be-removed-from-ubuntu-uninstalled-from-user-machines/.

It seems that they are removing Sun/Oracle Java from Ubuntu because of a bug. Also they are most likely putting OpenJDK as their official implementation.

So you might not experience problems with your user's computers...

Best of luck...
