java version problem


I go to a website that has problems with java 1.6.0_10 I need to upgrade to 1.6.0_11

I followed the directions on this site. It looks like I got it all right...

when I type java -version I get..

java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)

But when I test my java version at javatester , it says I'm still on _10

I have the libjavaplugin_oji.so linked to the /usr/bin/firefox-3.0.5/plugins directory.

I can't figure out what I'm missing.

Thanks in advance

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ look there the old links go there to. the new fire fox uses xulruner and it is linked to mozilla.
I get tired of it not wanting to put it there but that is where the stock built stuff goes so I just copy and paste it there and link off that.

put a link in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins .. trying to cover everything. Still no go, for some reason firefox is only finding the 1.6.0_10 version.

Got it working, here's what I did.

I had installed sun-java6-bin with Synaptic Package Manager. So I removed that, then re-did the links pointing to my /opt/jrel folder.

badda bing, badda boom.
