Trying to get Java and Flash working in 64bit Opera

I have IcedTea and swfdec installed and working with Firefox. How can I get those working in Opera? Here is what I get from opera -debugjava:

[rob ~ ]$  opera -debugjava
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
opera: [java] There seems to be a preloaded version of Xt.
       There are workarounds for this problem in the opera
       startup script.  If that workaround fails, opera will
       most likely crash every time it tries to use Java.
       The workaround seems to be working.
       Technical explanation:
       There is a problem with the order of loading Xt and
       Java.  If Xt is loaded before libawt (part of Java),
       Java will crash when it tries to access the screen.
       The workaround is based on using LD_PRELOAD to load
       libawt.so first.

opera: [java] The Java enable flag will not be reset
       because the OPERA_FORCE_JAVA_ENABLED environment
       variable has been defined.

I don't know what to do about that...

Any help is appreciated.

in the most simplest of answers, unless you have 32 bit you DON'T/WON'T ever get java + opera to work.

don't tell us about it, tell the damn opera dev's that a 5+ year old technology is useless because of their lack of... <-- you can fill in the rest.

Opera 9.50

Opera 9.50 comes with a 32 bit wrapper so nothing like nsplugin is needed. Simply install the dependencies listed above and then do the following.
install opera
download flash tar.gz from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download … kwaveFlash
unpack flash with tar -zxvf <install*flash>
as root: cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins

---

2007.08 - The last proper ARCH install cd.
RIP installer :'-(

Does that wrapper also work with Java? Because I can't get icedtea to work at all...

I got adobe flash working fine on x86_64 firefox/opera. Just follow the instructions for mozilla on the wiki, then opera picks it up.

Java I havn't tried.
