This is my Tomboy note about adding java support to CentOS Firefox:
1. yum install java
2. Now you need to add the Java you have installed to the list of
alternatives for the java executable:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java
/usr/java/latest/bin/java 2
Note: There is two - (hypen) before install. However wordpress may
replace both of them with a separate character, so just don't copy-paste
here.
Note: Tinker with /usr/java/latest/bin/java if you do not have Java
installed at this location. In other words change it to point to the
location of your installed Java executable from Sun.
3. Now configure alternatives to select the latest Java executable under
/usr/java:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
Check the version of Java to ensure that it is from Sun:
java -version
For example, this is the output I get:
java version "1.6.0_16â
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode)
Go to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins:
cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
ili
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
4. Create a symbolic link to libnpjp2.so (Firefox plugin for Java):
ln -s /usr/java/latest/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
ili
ln -s /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Note: The above is applicable for JDK installation. For JRE it is likely
to be:
ln -s /usr/java/latest/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
ili
ln -s /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
5. Restart Firefox and type the following in URL field and press Enter:
about:plugins
You should now see a section titled Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.x
You are done installing Java Plugin / Applet support in Firefox on CentOS 5.
ln -s /usr/java/latest/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so u
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
