Local applications may require specific Java versions. NOTE: Users should consult with their local IT support provider before installing or upgrading Java. Awareness: Once the java plug-in has been installed, it must be kept up to date in order to avoid security risks.Users should consult with their local IT support provider before installing or upgrading Java.This will install web browser plugin based on OpenJDK 7 and IcedTea.Important information about installing the Java plug-in In a Debian like system, just run this as root:
It is very easy to install Java plugin in your browser, using package icedtea-7-plugin. If you have installed Firefox as me (downloaded from Mozilla and just extracted somewhere and using a different profile in order to use Firefox and Iceweasel concurrently), then this Firefox will use this plugin too. You can do it with one command, but I split them to two separate commands to be more readable. If you have installed any of these, then you have to locate the location of the required library (for Oracle JRE is the “libnpjp2.so” file) and create a symbolic link to this.ġ) Create “plugins” directory for Mozilla: $> mkdir /home/myuser/.mozilla/pluginsĢ) Create library symbolic link: $> ln -s /opt/myjdks/jdk/jdk1.6.0_26/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /home/myuser/.mozilla/plugins/Īs you can see I use Oracle JDK 6 (1.6.0_26), which I have downloaded from Oracle and just extracted to directory “/opt/myjdks/”. This could be provided by SUN (now Oracle) JRE 6 or 7, or OpendJDK 6 or 7.
If you want to enable Java plugin for all those three browsers, then there is a single action that can do the work for you.įirst of all you have to install a JRE, in order to have a VM environment for your browser.
I am fan of Debian GNU/Linux wheezy and I am using three different browser’s ( Iceweasel, Firefox, Chrome) for various reasons.
