Wednesday December 13, 2006 Where's My Java Plugin?
|
Earlier this week, we (Sun) released Java SE 6, which looks cool, so I thought I'd install it on my Ubuntu Edgy system. |
In particular, what I was looking for was a new version of the Java plugin
for my Firefox 2.0 browser. Hopefully this one will work nicely with
Runescape, as the one in the
j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin package on my Ubuntu Edy system
crashes my Firefox 2.0 browser, as it's trying to connect to a game server.
I went to the Java SE 6 download page, accepted the license agreement and downloaded the Linux x64 self-extracting file.
I gave the jdk-6-linux-amd64.bin file execute permission and
executed it:
% chmod +x jdk-6-linux-amd64.bin % ./jdk-6-linux-amd64.bin
This nicely unpacked a ~/jdk1.6.0 directory for me. So far,
so good.
I then found the webpage for the manual installation and registration of the Linux Plugin.
These instructions refer to a file called libjavaplugin_oji.so.
I've looked all through the files under ~/jdk1.6.0 and I do not
have this file.
I must be missing something (besides that file). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
