   Okay, how do I make the plugin work with Firefox? I did the apt-get install, but I still don’t have Java available in the browser…

   Firefox is still saying it needs the plugin. I have made sure that
   Edit->preferences->web feature->Java enable, is checked but nothing.

   Other errors seen in the screen include:
   (firefox-bin:10479): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib

   (firefox-bin:10479): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers

   Ok, I added the link as root as you mentioned below but still didnt work:

   # cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
   # ln -s /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin_oji.so

   Java applets worked AFTER I reinstalled Ubuntu Hoary. Possibility of problems are as follows:
   I tried to install j2sdk1.5.0 from sun’s web site which was in RPM, I converted it with “alien”
   I also tried to setup the libjavaplugin_oji.so
   plugin as user specfic in the ~/.mozilla/plugins

   It works, and I didnt even have to close firefox while doing the install. thanks

   About:buildconfig to see the compiler used ro build the browser. The 150 java seems to work even on woody with the proper plugin 2.9? vs 3.?? and This sounds small but did you use the period at the end of the stanza like so
   ln -s /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin_oji.so . this period is not punctuation

   you see, I re-installed firefox (with the bin installer provided at http://www.mozilla.org) and installed jre1.5.0_02 (with the bin installer from java.sun.com)

   i linked the file but firefox didn’t appear to have recognized it… maybe i’m missing something as writing stuff into some config file?

   suggestion:

   use apt-cache search j2re

   If you have http://backports.ubuntuforums.org hoary-extras/restricted on your sources.list

   you will see j2re1.5

   then…

   apt-get install sun-j2re1.5
