Java and Watch-Listen nonfree

[David Leeming]

Hi,

I am looking for the right rpms to install for the Java plugin

java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

For a G1G1 XO-1 build 703, previously advertised method did not work;

Also trying to locate watch-listen-nonfree-14.xo The wiki says download it
from Helix site, it's not there, the Hleix Community mailing list did not
reply....

Oops, sorry, then that's F7 based and won't be so easy. We need to
find the right rpms to install, can you ask in the mailing list?
Haven't tried that myself. Tomorrow can try a bit more if you still
need it.

Good luck,
