I'm like to ask what people are using for Java plugin with Firefox. There were a few recent threads on this subject but no definitive answer: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-October/078038.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-October/078492.html I tried compiling jdk15 port and was able to build it and install it successfully. However, when trying to load a java applet in Firefox, the browser seemingly crashes (exits). I then tried following the method described in the handbook by downloading the diablo-jre-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz package from FreeBSD Foundation website and adding it with pkg_add. Trying to load java applets crashes Firefox. In both cases, javavmwrapper was installed and about:plugins in Firefox shows that java plugin is installed. Is there a working combination for 7.0-PRERELEASE/BETA? My system is: # uname -a FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #0: Mon Oct 15 13:02:17 EDT 2007 swaggy@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/T61 i386 # pkg_info | grep java javavmwrapper-2.3 Wrapper script for various Java Virtual Machines # pkg_info | grep firefox firefox-2.0.0.8,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla # ls -la /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ total 96 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 29 19:22 . drwxr-xr-x 54 root wheel 31232 Oct 29 13:26 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Oct 20 00:20 .firefox.keep lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 63 Oct 29 19:22 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 62192 Sep 12 14:21 npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Currently with jre from FreeBSD foundation site: # pkg_info | grep jre diablo-jre-1.5.0.07.01 Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_07.01 Thanks, Yuri
