hi

Which java should be installed for Wheezy?
I have the following java installed:

Code:

# java -version
java version "1.7.0_03"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.1.7) (7u3-2.1.7-1)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode, sharing)

but some applets are not working, for example:

You arent asking your question correctly. You need to identify which Java version the applications you want to run require. Also just having java installed does not mean you have the plugin installed in teh browser.

You could use java-package to get the latest & greatest: http://verahill.blogspot.com/2012/04...in-debian.html

In summary:
1. sudo apt-get install java-package
2. Download the java files from http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en --> jre-7u25-linux-x64.tar.gz
3. make-jpkg jre-7u25-linux-x64.bin
4. sudo dpkg -i oracle-j2re1.7_1.7.0+update21_amd64.deb
5a. sudo update-alternatives --config java
5b. sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
6. Verification
java -version
7. Chrome:
sudo updatedb
locate libnpjp2.so
locate libjavaplugin.so
Then use this info to link javaplugin to the new libnpjp2.so:
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/jvm/jre-7-oracle-x64/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/jvm/jre-7-oracle-x64/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /etc/alternatives/chromium-javaplugin.so
