I hope this question is related to the discussion, sufficiently. Since
it pertains to switching from gcj to sun java, I think it does. I
found several problems with that page you link to, and solved them,
but, I'm not sure if what I did was correct. First, the version
numbers included in the various commands have to be adjusted since the
actual version you download from the site has progressed beyond the
one that's used in the suggested commands - that's fairly trivial, but
needs to be pointed out. Once I sorted that out, I could not find an
elegant way to turn off gcj; my first inclination was to remove it,
but, that led to a request to delete about 25 other packages from my
machine for dependencies - I stopped that. Then I tried to remove the
plug-in from Mozilla - creating the linked file to the java, as
suggested by one of the commands on that linked page, had already
produced a message that the file existed, so I suppose that
libjavaplugin_oji.so was being used by gcj; I renamed that file and
then ran the link command again - that appeared to be successful and
produced the appearance of Sun Java in the plug-in list in Firefox;
but, the gcj plug-in was still there, and attempts to use the ATT
Relay site continued to fail; then I renamed a second plug-in in the
mozilla plug-in folder called libjavaplugin.so - that didn't work,
because it was simply a link to another *.so file somewhere I suppose,
so gcj continued to appear in my plug-in list in Firefox - finally, I
just created a folder inside the Mozilla plug-in folder called 'old'
and moved the now renamed files 'libjavaplugin_oji.so.gcj' and
'libjavaplugin.so.gcj' to this folder, and that finally solved the
problem. Now, the only java that appears in my Firefox plug-in list is
the one from Sun, and the ATT Relay site works perfectly.
So, my question is, was there some better way of accomplishing this
end? If not, this is not what one could call a simple solution, and
that page you linked to will definitely NOT get the desired result
without a lot of hacking. I'm betting I came up with a kludge, and
there must be a better way.

Gawd. What a tough nut to crack, but I got it.
The relaycall.com site does not work with F9's OpenJdk, at least for me.
But after installing Sun's Java and configuring the /etc/alternatives using
galternatives, I was able to get this site working now.
1) You do not need to create the libjavaplugin_oji.so in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugin directory
as I have tested this. Use galternatives to set this link
(libjavaplugin.so) to Sun's plugin
and the link is updated properly in /etc/alternatives directory.
2) After you have installed Sun's Java, you still need to make sure
that the /etc/alternatives contains information to Sun's Java
installation.
To do that, use the nifty tool: galternatives:
1) run: galternatives
2) Click on left pane: java
If: /usr/java/jrel1.6.0_07/bin/java on right pane is not there,
then
Click; Add, then Browse, and add the path in. You can set the
priority
as desired. Be sure to click the radio-button on the correct
version you want to use!
3) Click on left pane: libjavaplugin.so
If: /usr/java/jrel1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
on the right pane is not there, then
Click: Add, then Browse, and add the path in. You can set the
priority as desired.
Be sure to click the radio-button on the correct version you
want to use!
4) After configuring as above, you need to restart FF since the
changes are not
dynamically updated within FF.
Cheers,
Dan
