Java Runtime Environment set up.

Chuong · 04-28-2006, 11:11 PM

How do I set up my browser so I can view java applet on the web?

They keep saying I'm missing the plug-in Java Runtime Environment.

I've downloaded the Java 2 Runtime Environment from the Java website, and did a sh j2re-0.11.4.1 etc and it created a folder for me.

So anybody know how to enable java support for the Firefox browser?

I'm using Fedora Core 4.

You need to create a symlink e.g.

Code:

#ln -s /opt/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/.

In the example above /opt/java is where my java jdk is installed.

Yeah, thanks. I got it working!

Just FYI, there's tons of useful information about Fedora Core in FedoraForum.

Any ideas where all the packages for Java are installed?

You know when you write a java program you import packages?

e.g.

import java.utils.*

class HelloWorld
{
. . .
}

I'm using Fedora Core 4, not too sure where the folder holding that java.utils is. I'm trying to make it so my java program can use a package called B102.jar.

Currently when I compile my program, it says error trying to import the B102 package, thus I can't read in user inputs.

Many thanks in advance.
