I want to install Java SDK on ubuntu hardy. I downloaded the bin file from sun's site and extracted the same by running it. Now how would I make ubuntu to choose this as my default Java SDK?

Follow this. Though its for 1.5, it should do the task for 1.6 too (Use tab-auto complete).

Or simply, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, if you have internet access.
