I have java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.u12-1.2.x86_64 installed (I had to

there some other magic update-alternatives approach I need to take? Thanks
in advance.

The java plugin is called javaplugin, so use update-alternatives --command
javaplugin.

The new default one is libjnjp2.so, which don't work with some sites and works
only under Gecko 1.9 based browser - Firefox3 and 11.1 version of Epiphany I
guess. If you use Opera, or Seamonkey, you cannot use a new one.

I planned to changed a packaging of it to allow install an old legacy plugin,
which don't work well with a Firefox3, but sometimes is necessary.


Michal,

Thank you. Hopefully they will get the javaplugin fixed so it works with both
Opera and Firefox. Last night, I just reinstalled the openjdk plugin (and
openjdk) and the Java in Firefox started working again for:

Opera is still dead in the water though.
