The best bet I've found is to install the linuxpluginwrapper port, but you'll need a recently compiled 4.9-STABLE world/kernel to make it work. > > Secound: > i have installed the j2sdk 1.4.1_07 in /usr/local/j2sdk directory > ($JAVA_HOME) ... but i can't access sites witch java applications... > > I've only this 2 problems to exclude the WINDOWS from my LIVE ... > (Oops... maybe the vpn client too ... :P ) > It's apparent that you've installed Java other than with a port. There are several problems with this: 1) native applications don't operate too well with Linux Java (and vice versa); 2) neither the files nor the symlinks are installed where FreeBSD and native apps expect them to be; 3) Opera probably can't even find the Java plugin as a result. > > Thank You.. > _______________________________________________ Moral of the story . . .
