-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A website I want to use would allow access unless my java applet is JRE 6 update 13 or higher. As far as I can figure out the applet provided by package sun-java6-bin is update 12.
- From the Sun Microsystems site I downloaded file jre-6u19-i586.bin; moved it to directory /usr/lib/jvm, changed ownership to root:root and permissions to rwxr-xr-x and ran the binary. It created a new directory /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_19 and opened in that directory a number of subdirectories and files. Next, I needed to add this new JRE to /etc/alternatives. Using the alternatives configurator provided by package galternatives, as root I selected 'java' as the alternative to configure and added to the options list /usr/lib/jvm/1.6.0_19/bin/java and finally selected this new option. After reloading Iceweasel, about:plugins still showed the previous JRE I was using, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java. Assuming that I can use a later version of JRE downloaded from Sun on Iceweasel 3.5, am I on the right track but did not get the newer version set up correctly, or is there a different way?
