I'm running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on amd64 and would like to get the Sun JDK browser plugin set up on my system. I use firefox from ports. If I understand right, java/jdk15 will build a native JDK for FreeBSD on i386 and amd64. http://www.freebsd.org/java/dists/15.html suggests that the port will support Web Start and the browser plugin for Mozilla and Firefox. I notice the Makefile for jdk15 checks to see if the architecture is amd64 and if so, sets WITHOUT_WEB=3Dyes which the inline comments say will cause the browser plugin to not be built. I suspect this is the case also because after installing jdk15 I can still only find the following plugins: /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns4/libjavaplugin.so /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji= .so Is it possible for amd64 users of jdk15 and firefox to have a compatible browser plugin? # uname -a FreeBSD deathstar.sancho2k.net 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov 2 19:07:38 UTC 2005 =20 root@rat.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 TIA DS
