Java plugin

Installing the java plugin for web browsers is a pain, so I describe it here.

SLES 11 x64

On SLES 11 x64

yast -i java-1_6_0-ibm
  • for every user (in this case root)
    • make sure the Mozilla plugin directory exists:
mkdir -p /root/.mozilla/plugins
    • link the plugin from java to mozilla:
ln -s /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1_6_0-ibm-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /root/.mozilla/plugins/
  • test if it works by surfing to about:plugins

Debian

ln -s /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

generic

  • find out what your jre directory is. In its lib/amd64 path you will find libnpjp2.so
  • find out what your mozilla plugin directory is
  • Link libnpjp2.so to from the one directory to the other
  • Verify this has worked by surfing to about:plugins
