Need help with Java
 

Hey there!!!
I am using BackTrack (Slackware) and i have a problem with Java
I have installed jdk1.5.0.09 but i can not run applets in Mozilla
When i try to run an applet i get an error "Missing Plugins"
Any ideas?

Thanks for your time

PS:I have enabled the Java option in the browser

whats the output of "echo $JAVA_HOME"? and 'which java'?
also, the jdk is the java development kit. you want the jre, java runtime environment. visit java.sun.com to download the JRE update 10 i think is the latest.

/usr/lib/java

Sorry i forgot
'which java' outputs: '/usr/lib/java/bin/java'

did you follow the instructions on the java site to set it up with the browser?

if you mean if i followed the instructions for the JDK installation yes i did.
The only thing that could cause a problem that i can imagine is that i installed the JDK in the Desktop
Is this true?
I downloaded and installed the JRE 10update as you said.
I installed in the Desktop dir as well
To be honest nothing changed
Any ideas?

Thanks really much for your time
I am really obliged

Hey again
Well,i did as you said and everything was preinstalled
The symbolic link existed as well.
Anyway, i replaced everything and restart mozilla as i was told by the instructions.
Nothing unfortunately.
Any other ideas?
I dont know if you have read my previous post but i installed the jre in my Desktop not in /usr/java .Can this cause any problem?

Thanks for your time

i say remove the desktop one and install it using all defaults and suggested paths and commands.

Really sorry about that but i am quite newbie
I would be really obliged if you could give me an example

Many thanks

just delete the folder in the desktop that you created for it. use the default install and follow the instructions so its installed in a subdirectory in /usr
