Hi AN:
To enable the java plugin in firefox, please do the following:
. cd $HOME/.mozilla
. cd plugins
(if the plugins dir doesnot exist, please create one)
. ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
. on doing ls -l, you'll see an entry look like this
libjavaplugin_oji.so@ -> /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
To check for java plugin support, you can try the following:
. start firefox 3.5
. type about:plugins in the address bar
. you should see entry like
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_07-b02
File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_07
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-java-vm Java Yes
application/x-java-applet Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java Yes
....
....
Hope this helps you get started with using Java on FreeBSD.
thanks
Saifi.
