[gentoo-user] firefox java plugin

[Antoine]

Hi,
I can't seem to find out how to get java working again in firefox (1.5). 
I am running blackdown (std, 1.4.2) and I simply don't get java with 
most sites now. Is it possible that I need to update to sun's 1.5?
Cheers
Antoine

the blakcdown version is a little dated now, but should still work with most 
sites. You may need to add a link to the java plugin in you firefix 
configuration directory (either in home or systemwide)

eg link /opt/<java-jre-version>/plugin/i386/<plugin name>
     to ~/.mozilla/plugins/<plugin name>

easy to drop in custom plugins there too :)

I use the sun-bin-jre. Download it yourself and place it under
dev-java. (I think!) Then add this to /etc/portage/package.use:

dev-java/sun-jre-bin nsplugin
dev-java/blackdown-jre nsplugin
dev-java/blackdown-jdk nsplugin -mozilla

and do your emerge.

Hope this helps,
Mark
