First of all thanks for reading this and trying to help.
After today's rsync my system was to update (among others) these packages: | Code: | [ebuild U ] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r12 [1.4.2.03-r2] USE="nsplugin -doc (-X%*) (-alsa%*) (-browserp[ebuild U ] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r12 [1.4.2.03-r2] USE="nsplugin -doc (-X%*) (-alsa%*) (-browserplugin%) (-mozilla%*)" 0 kB

I'm on AMD64 and Sun's JDK is to be installed in my box for the first time, along with the update to already-present Blackdown's JDK.
When Sun's JDK finished emerging I saw this: | Code: | !!! ERROR: The active vm could not be found
Now using sun-jdk-1.5 as your generation-2 system JVM
* sun-jdk-1.5.0.08 set as the default system-vm.
* JREs and 1.5+ JDKs are not supported for use with generation-1.
* This is because generation-1 is only for use for building packages.
* Only generation-2 should be used by end-users,
* where all JREs and JDKs will be available
* System nsplugin is already set, not changing it.
* You can change nsplugin with eselect java-nsplugin.
* Some parts of Sun's JDK require virtual/lpr to be installed.
* Be careful which Java libraries you attempt to use.
* Be careful: sun-jdk-1.5.0.08's Java compiler uses
* '-source 1.5' as default. Some keywords such as 'enum'
* are not valid identifiers any more in that mode,
* which can cause incompatibility with certain sources. |
And when I tried to follow directions to change nsplugin (eselect java-nsplugin) I got this: | Code: | user@localhost ~ $ sudo eselect java-nsplugin list
Available 32-bit Java browser plugins
Available 64-bit Java browser plugins
[1] blackdown-jdk-1.4.2
user@localhost ~ $ sudo eselect java-nsplugin show
Current Java browser plugin
(unset)
user@localhost ~ $ sudo eselect java-nsplugin set 1
!!! Error: Usage: set [32bit or 64bit] [nsplugin-vm]
exiting.
user@localhost ~ $ sudo eselect java-nsplugin set blackdown-jdk
!!! Error: Usage: set [32bit or 64bit] [nsplugin-vm]
exiting.
user@localhost ~ $ sudo eselect java-nsplugin set blackdown-jdk-1.4.2
!!! Error: Usage: set [32bit or 64bit] [nsplugin-vm]
exiting. |
Should I set it, in the first place?
What is the correct command to set it?
On the other hand Firefox shows I got no Java-VM enabled after a reboot. This is what I get from the command line: | Code: | user@localhost ~ $ sudo eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] blackdown-jdk-1.4.2
[2] sun-jdk-1.5 system-vm
user@localhost ~ $ sudo eselect java-vm show
Password:
Current system-vm
sun-jdk-1.5
Current user-vm
(unset) |
What should I do to enable JAVA so that Firefox can use it? Previously I had Blackdown's 1.4.2 working with no problems.
Thanks very much in advance. |

read carefully.
| Code: | | sudo eselect java-nsplugin set 64bit blackdown-jdk |
plus:
1. your issue is unrelated to the topic
2. the topic is marked solved
so you should have made a new topic

Thanks very much. I was tired and read the first pair of square brackets as parenthesis 
Plus:
1) I was trying to exec the command Lloeki told veilig, so I think it is related 
2) Yeah, I know, but my action could only act against me, because perhaps nobody knowing how to solve the issue would enter an already solved thread. However, I didn't want to load the forum with another thread to just ask a doubt about Lloeki's answer in this thread.
Again, thanks very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
For the sake of completeness and future reference for others, let me just say that the actual command was: | Code: | | sudo eselect java-nsplugin set 64bit blackdown-jdk-1.4.2 |
