Java Plugin In Fedora With Mozilla

sxa · 01-19-2004, 06:22 PM

I have Mozilla (not sure which version) running in Fedora Core one.. I installed the Java Plugin, but Java still does not work.. Any ideas?

ALT-F2 -> Konsole (or whatever console you use)
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Provided your libjavaplugin.so is installed in the above directory.

Just did it 2 minutes ago with the new Moz 1.6. It woks for me.
Cheers.

This holds true for anyone using a modern Linux distro and newer Mozilla version, as well.

After you have downloaded the java file (tar.gz) you need to extract it (-xzvf) and then run the installer that is included in your newly created directory.

...then
locate libjavaplugin.so
will give you the file location.
