As it was mentioned above: since Opera 10.50 it doesn't use Java directly, hence it looks for a special Java plugin file libnpjp2.so and ONLY! The problem is that the file libnpjp2.so residues in linux-sun-jre1[67] only, not in openjdk nor diablo nor jdk16 editions, though available is non-native only. Cut from opera:plugins (java/linux-sun-jre16): Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_38 Description: The next generation Java plug-in for Mozilla browsers. Architecture: non-native /usr/local/lib/npapi/symlinks/opera/libnpjp2.so Of course it fails to start properly and crashes after is called. A try to nspluginwrapper it fails: nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/linux-sun-jre1.6.0/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: libnpjp2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: libnpjp2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for libnpjp2.so Opera 12.12 rejects classic plugin file javaplugin-oji.so and IcedTeaPlugin.so (tested). It would be keen to update the Handbook part 7.2.5 Opera of http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.= html, that it doesn't support java/icedtea-web anymore? All the steps from Handbook had been taken, and IcedTeaPlugin.so is caught by FireFox, SeaMonkey, Chromium... but Opera 12.12 . Additional Notes from Oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-install-linux-= 136395.html): The classic plugin file was located here: <JRE>/plugin/i386/javaplugin-oji.so __This file should no longer be used and all symbolic links to it removed__= .
