Hello!
I'm trying to enable Java plugin on my FreeBSD-8.2/amd64 machine --
fruitlessly. Though Java (installed by the java/jdk16 port) itself is
working great (vuze and serviio are running 24/7), Firefox (6.0.2) does
not open any applets -- and, most annoyingly, does not output any
diagnostics either.
There are several recipes out there, some talk about sym-linking
libjavaplugin_jni.so into various directories and others -- about
changing the java.* configuration strings in Firefox' about:config.
The authoritative manual, however, refers to OpenJDK:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-browsers.html#MOZ-JAVA-PLUGIN
-- is there something broken in jdk16, that makes it unusable with
Firefox? Thanks!
