How to install JRE-7 on Xubuntu?

Question

I have followed the other question and did not succeed.

mv: cannot move './jre1.7.0_04' to '/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0': No such file or directory

Is it installed into the 32bit compatible /lib directory only?

running: Linux user 2.6.38-14-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP time-date-stuff x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Xubuntu does not include any java (yeah!), but now I want to play with yED. :(
