 Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2004 6:06 pm Post subject: problems with java plugin for mozilla |
 |
|
I've been having problems getting any java plugins to work in Mozilla. I just upgraded to Mozilla version 1.7 from 1.6.something. I've installed two JDKs, sun-j2sdk-1.4.2, and blackdown-jdk-1.4.1. I've followed the instructions for installing the java plugin to mozilla by putting a symlink to libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, but it's just not working.
| Code: |
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
ln -s /opt/sun-j2sdk-1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
|
I'm testing the plugin by viewing this page to see if the java applets come up (but they aren't):
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/index.html
Other relevant info about my system:
Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6
gcc version 3.3.3 20040412
Can anyone give me some recommendations for fixing this?
Thanks- Ian. |

Well first you can check whether mozilla has loaded the plugin or not:
It should be something like this:

Note, this one was made under firefox/win32 so your output might vary a bit.
Next you can try to change the classpath and path for java...
http://members.home.nl/keizerflipje/configs/etc/profile.d/IBMJava2.sh
(If I'm not mistaken the script for Sun Java should be the same)
Note that normally java executable don't have to be in the path to function properly in a browser.
Good luck,

As a coincidence the test page you choose, was bad applets, at least they don't load on my system to... Note that I can see the plugin load, just not the applet.
You might want to use this URL to check:

Good luck,

HA! They are just bad applets! Hurray! It's actually working. I should email sun about the error in their tutorial.
Thanks, Pascal de Bruijn!
