Java

[David Leeming]

Hi Tomeu,

I just followed the instructions for Sun JRE using
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/RestrictedFormats using 1.5.0 update 13. It all
worked as in the text 

The end result is a blue-coloured plugin listed in the Mozilla plugins
folder /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
libjavaplugin_oji.so

But it doesn't show up when I query about:plugins using the browser. This is
exactly as described in the support tickets 865 and 6465

Hi David,

can you check if the java plugin gets installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?

Can you tell me how did you installed it? Which rpms/tarballs did you use?

Thanks,

Tomeu
