Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

There is no official 64 bit Java plug-in for Java 6. You have to either use IcedTea or OpenJDK in AUR (also in the Arch-French repos), or set up a chroot environment. IcedTea is working great for me. There's some info in this thread:

What about these? I installed one, but I think it needs to be linked to firefox

Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

Java 7 will be the first official 64 bit Java to have the browser plug-in. You'll have to use a different solution for now.

Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

It's going to be a while. At least a year. Probably more.

IcedTea is Sun's Java 6 code with GNU Classpath's web plug-in. It's being continually worked on. It works very well for me.

OpenJDK is the official development branch for Java 7. It's in heavy development and may not be stable at times.

Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

To install iced tea, I needed giflib from AUR. I ran makepkg -i while pacman was running, so if it failed. Now, when I try to install it, I get this.

Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

You may have libungif installed, or a bad install of giflib. Try to uninstall both using the -Rd switch, then reinstalling giflib.

Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

Are you building as your regular user? If so, IcedTea needs to be built as root. The symlinks it needs to create are beyond the scope of makepkg. If you don't feel like going this route, you can get a fully working binary from the French Arch Linux repos:

Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

You're getting closer... I think. Do you currently have Sun's Java stuff installed? If not, you'll need to. IcedTea needs Java to build itself. Happily the newer version will build against itself, but one thing at a time.

--EDIT--

Crap! JDK is in the make depends like of the PKGBUILD. I did have both JDK and JRE installed to build this.

I installed the prebuild one. Now java works in firefox.

Re: java firefox plugin[SOLVED]

You read it in the file they say, and nod your head and mm-hmm to their draconian policies. Or you shake your head in disgust and install OpenJDK/IcedTea.
