# eselect java-nsplugin list Available 32-bit Java browser plugins [1] emul-linux-x86-java-1.6 current [2] emul-linux-x86-java-1.6-plugin2 Available 64-bit Java browser plugins [1] sun-jdk-1.6
I have blackdown java installed but it does not show up in eselect. Why is that? When I start firefox-bin & goto about:plugins it says "no plugins installed", despite this symlink: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/javaplugin.so -> /usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/emul-linux-x86-java-1.6-javaplugin.so When I use 64 bit firefox with the sun jdk it comes up and 'sort of' works, sort of doesn't. In general I hate it because its flaky, & consistently fails on 1 big applet. I was previously using the blackdown plugin, however if I manually create the symlink, firefox will not start up, it Segmentation fault's. This is the symlink I setup: /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/javaplugin.so -> /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so I also tried pointing it to /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so which also causes a Segmentation fault. I dont care whether I use 32 or 64 bit firefox, I just want java to work reliably. Googling, a lot of people are getting Segmentation faults, with the suggestion "use blackdown". However even mozilla's plugin page does not give the symlinks to use. This page http://fedora64.org/desktop-64-posts/java-x86_64/ says to make the source libjavaplugin_oji.so If I use that or javaplugin_oji.so firefox starts but about:plugins shows no plugins installed. My googling isn't turning up much helpful, I suspect I just don't know enough to provide good keywords.
