The important bit that I missed was installing dev-java/ant-core-1.7.0* from the java-overlay. Once I'd done that I have had no problems installing icedtea6, and even openoffice. Now no longer have sun-jdk installed!

I think from the very first post in this thread a lot of things have changed and procedure *now* must be simple than mentioned in first post.
Thanks in advance.. |
This is the old thread about using a binary RPM from some other distro (Fedora).
So you can
a) use j79zlr's updated openjdk-bin package
or b) use geki's icedtea6 snapshots from https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-379693.html
or c) do the PITA method and use the version in java-overlay, which pulls in at least 3 JDKs to build 1.
I prefer and use b), but a) is the fastest regarding compile time etc. c) is for guys who use their pc as a heater. 
@ j79zlr: are you sure pkg_postinst message is still valid? I think fedora uses gcc-4.3 too meanwhile. |
not that I am not thankful but looks like there is no single simple method to do this.. |

Well, any of these needs you to add an overlay or copy an ebuild into your own, before typing emerge.
But that's all you need to do. The difference is how long you'll have to wait for that emerge to finish.

No actually I am not sure, I am using GCC 4.3 on my box and it works, if someone has either GCC 4.2 or even 4.1 to test it would be appreciated and I could adjust the ebuild as required. I just modified an old icedtea-bin ebuild to suit the new package name. I have a full howto on my site if needed: http://www.j79zlr.com/howto.php?id=63 |

Doesn't really look like a Subversion DAV repository. It's plain mod_autoindex HTTP

Hi
Thanks
I am following the procedure on this page.
http://www.j79zlr.com/howto.php?id=63
Are those the only steps or I need to do anything to get jre working in firefox on amd64?
I am curious because when I emerge the openjdk-bin, following lines are in the message.
| Code: | -- replaced dir /usr/lib64
--- replaced sym /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk-bin-1.6
--- replaced dir /usr/lib/jvm

I succeeded with these instructions. The only thing I added was the following line to my /etc/portage/package.use settings:
| Code: | | dev-java/openjdk-bin nsplugin |
I use gcc 4.3:
| Code: | gcc-config -l
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.6
[2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.2 * |
In my next live, I reconsider using 32bit-Linux .....  |

That is the thing, I am not sure if it works with GCC 4.1 or 4.2. It looks like you have 4.1 as the default compiler. When you test java does it work? |

I just see a white box when I test, I know it should not be look like that but show my java version in that box.
I wonder what can I do to get this(jre) working. |

Ok, I did this, small info for whoever-is-interested: gcc-4.3.2 works as well. Mostly.
I have trouble with map24.com. If I search for e.g. Muenster, there's a map of Europe shown with the possible locations, but after some seconds it's just white and says "Wait for applet to be loaded", which stays. Here's the output from the command line of firefox:
| Code: | NOT IMPLEMENTED: virtual nsresult IcedTeaPluginInstance::Stop()
NOT IMPLEMENTED: virtual nsresult IcedTeaPluginInstance::Start()
Jar string: map24portal_2006_NT_EUROPE_3.5_en-DE.zip
jars length: 1
JNLPRuntime already initialized
IcedTeaPlugin.cc:4214: Error: ToString
NOT IMPLEMENTED: virtual nsresult IcedTeaPluginInstance::Start()
Jar string: map24portal_2006_NT_EUROPE_3.5_en-DE.zip
jars length: 1
JNLPRuntime already initialized
|
Can anybody tell me what's wrong?
Also, http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml confirms java is working (with an ugly font, btw ^^), but says it's outdated. They have download links for 64-Bit version, should one try to make use of that?
Anyways, thanks for java on firefox on 64 bit
(e) Also, another question: This is quite some hazzle, I do have a bunch of masked packages on my system now, which isn't really what I'd usually do. Isn't there an easier way to get java working in firefox 3? I probably wouldn't mind using a 32-bit wrapped version. There's lots of info out there, but it's hard to judge what's outdated and what's the way to go.

The interactive map on map24.com doesn't seem to work with IcedTeaPlugin (yet), so just click "Map: static" next to the logo on the top of the page.

| Yea, its definitely not perfect but it seems to work about 50% of the time. I had no better success with the icedtea plugin. |
