When I try

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

I got a message telling me that the package could not be found in database. I guess I'm missing repositories.

here's the content of sources.list file :

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy restricted universe multiverse 

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates restricted universe multiverse

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-security restricted universe multiverse

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu saucy partner

deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-proposed restricted universe multiverse

deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-backports restricted universe multiverse

Which is the repository to install openjdk 7. Thanks

When I do

sudo apt-get install -f 

apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jdk

I got this :

As JohnnyD said, add ppa:openjdk/ppa repository and then update it.After that, you can be able to install openjdk-7-jdk directly from that repository,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

Edit :

sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude install openjdk-7-jdk

and not choose to keep the current version of the conflicting packages.
