Both these are made for JRE 1.4... are there major revisions
in 1.5 that might
cause problems?
This works fine on FF 3.0.1 and Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_07-b06
on RHELv5. It does not work on FF 3.0.1 with:
GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.2
File name: gcjwebplugin.so
The GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) executes Java
applets.
This is installed -- but it does not work in your environment?
Maybe that is the problem then,...
and RHEL - Red Hat Enterprise?? What plugin does it use to
execute applets?
gcjwebplugin.so does not work as hoped. This is the open source
environment.
Is there something else besides gcjwebplugin.so that might help
execute java applets?
I think what needs to be understood is that, at least for me,
the Sun supplied java pieces work just fine with the URLs that
you have listed.
Ok, that may be it. I'd better clean the PC of everything Java
runtime-related, and reinstall
the programs from Sun.
Fedora 9 had Java installed ($java did execute before I started
downloading anything)
I guess this is Java Development then - since JRE was missing.
Am I then safe to assume that removal of everything under
/usr/java/jre1.n... (I have both n=5 and n=6) will be enough?
The libjavaplugin_oji.so is set to point to jre1.5... and I
cannot remember where I got that from.
So, my procedure would be:
Delete everything below /usr/java - download jre.1.5-- from Sun
and install it.
(I did also use www.java.com before)
I did not use .rpm downloads, some advice I picked up in some
article I read.
I have observed that the install procedure (starting the self
extracting .bin file) is creating some libraries, do I have to
remove these as well, or will they be overwritten?
I cannot remember where they were located, perhaps yum can list
then .. (that I cannot remember either, I am going to buy more
memory! :-) )
I would surely buy more memory. :-)
I would also recommend using the rpms in the future. Makes
installing/uninstalling/updating much easier.
FWIW, you can also confirm what lib FF is referencing by doing an:
lsof -p XXXX where XXXX is the PID of FF and then grepping the
output for "plugin".
BTW: In what environment exactly did you manage to bring up the
login screen?
My environment is Red Hat Enterprise Linux V 4.7 with FF 3.0.1 and
Sun's latest java and java plugin.
You use jre1.5--- ?
No, I've installed Sun's jdk-1.6.0_07-fcs.
I downloaded
JDK 6 Update 7
/The Java SE Development Kit (JDK) includes the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) and command-line development tools that are
useful for developing applets and applications.
/from the SUN site.
I went through the motions, executing the ....*.rpm.bin inder
/usr/java,
created symlinks (libjavaplugin_oji.so) both in
---/.mozilla/plugins and (to be sure) /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
Still no effect. And the funny thing is:
about:plugins now report this:
---------------------------------------------------------
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02
File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06
------------------------------------------------------
I was expecting _07, not _07 if the last 2 digits identify the
update number.
I also have:
-------------------------------------------------------------
GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.2
File name: gcjwebplugin.so
The GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) executes Java applets.
I can't think of a reason to have both of these.
I now have only Sun's Java installed on FF 9. I "rpm -e" the
open-java stuff. And both of your sites run just fine.
-- snip --
Then there should be hope for me as well. But I must admit that I
have not dived into this
java plugin stuff so much before, (under Fedora Core 5 it was just to
enter the softlink
.._oji.so in /home/.../.mozilla/plugins and then everyting played
nicely.
So there is a lot of new stuff now that I try to bring under control.
Therefore I am compelled to ask more uninformed questions:
rpm -e ? I.e: What should I enter after the erase clause to make sure
that I get it all
erased?
rpm -e java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin
is all you need do.
rpm -e gave error messages, but yum remove did the trick.
And THEN:
The login screen popped up, and everything worked as it used to work
after logging in.
I am very grateful for all good help, I have learned a lot from this, I
have some more understanding of how Java plugins work, but also how
Firefox deals with plugins.
I will study Java more and use it for some purposes,
then I don't have to ask so many uninformed questions - hopefully.
