Java Plugin on Firefox

[LinuxMan00x]

Hello

I had hard time to get java plugin installed, I lookrf for simular posts but none of those helped me, I have both openjdk rumtime 1.6.0 and 1.7.0. The curious thing is that I don't have java folder in the usr as some posts suggested to make a smbolic link to the firefox plugins path. By the way, I have firefox 10.0 on fc 16.

Any help is welcome

Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the setup guides posted at the top of every page (the yellow link). I found the mjmwired guide to java worked for me.

I have found this page to be helpful. See if this works for you.

The package "icedtea-web" will get you the open-source Java plugin. If you absolutely need the Sun/Oracle version, go to http://www.java.com and follow the instructions for Fedora.

Hi

Sorry for answering this late. I installed java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin, but I still have problem a link has been made to /usr/java/default/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so which is not existed, there is no java folder in the usr.

Any idea? Thanks Again

When I do a "yum search java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin" from Fedora 16 I don't find that package any more. I think it's deprecated and the proper one is now called icedtea-web

Oddly, if I do this (using yumdownloader) to download the old plugin package it gets an rpm but actually is smart enough to get icedtea-web's rpm:

yumdownloader java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

---> results in getting this:

659129 Jan 4 21:32 icedtea-web-1.1.4-4.fc16.x86_64.rpm

I think the link in the old way is broken for you because it's pointing to the /usr/java/default/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so file
you get from the the java-1.6.0-openjdk package, if you didn't install that then there's no library for the link to point at.


ps. I also see that if you do this to find the libnpjp2.so file and owning package: (note I'm using 64bit)

yum provides \*/libnpjp2.so

you find it only in "jdk"

The java situation is kind of confusing right now, we have oracle ("jdk-{version}-fcs"), the Oracle version from the
Oracle web site and openjdk , now that oracle's version is merging with openjdk (openjdk will be the official version) this should be simpler in the
near future.
