Fedora 17 + firefox + java plugin
 

Hello,

I have followed the instructions and done the following :

[root@jonashp Jonas]# cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[root@jonashp plugins]# ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_07/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

So I have the plugin linked :

[root@jonashp plugins]# ls -lh
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 47 Jul 15 11:10 libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_07/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

But still I get the error in Firefox that there is a plugin missing ?!

Try typing the line
about:plugins

into firefox and see what you get. Last heard, it used to be blackdown java that fedora used. Also be aware that If you have a 64 bit browser, it's /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins. Both browser & plugin have to be the same bitty-ness (32 or 64) for things to work.

OK, I had to install it in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

Now it works.

Thanks.
