Java in Mozilla in Debian Sarge

These instructions last updated 3/2005 for firefox

First, download java from:
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=jre-1.5.0-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=nore

Navigating Sun's site is about the worst part. but register if need be and then hit the check out button once the "invoice" appears. (these guys are nuts). Select accept and hit continue - now hit place order (the site is a bit buggy here). now download the "Linux self extracting file" to your home directory.

Do the following

su -

wajig install java-common

chmod u+x jre*

cd /usr/local/lib

/<your home directory goes here> /jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin

cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
>>> or use the next line for firefox <<<
cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/

ln -s /usr/local/lib/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

You may have to quit all Mozilla apps and then delete the ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat file.

After going through this hassle, please think twice before writing any web content that uses propriety formatted content. Use open source only!
