I java-config bacl top the sun one:
The following VMs are avilable for generation-2:
1) Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.03 (blackown-jre-1.4.2)
2) Sun 32bit JRE 1.6.0.13 (emul-linux-x86-java-1.6)
*) Sun JRE 1.6.0.13 (sun-jdk-1.6)
Started firefox & about:plugins shows no plugins.
So I also did eslect java-nsplugin:
:
Avialble 64-bit Java browser plugins
[1] sun-jdk-1.6 current
Started firefox & no plugins.
I traced the symbolic links & manually set it to
/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
which also did not work.
This is all really weird because I had it working with sun-jdk earlier.
I also found /opt/firefox/plugins was point to
/usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins. I repointed this to lib64 & got this
error:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so [...: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64
from firefox-bin (which I'm using for mail so I can start/stop firefox
at will. I suspect that /opt/firefox/plugins is just for firefox-bin.
