[Discuss] Some Java questions

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Apparently, the plugin is not in the jdk or jre I have installed in
Fedora 17. However, there is a plugin that is available: *libnpjp2.so*.
The library should be located in <JRE>/lib/amd64
The way that you enable the plugin is to set up a symbolic link from
libnpjp2.so
For example:
cd |/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/|
|sudo ln -s
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.9.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

Note that this is where my jdk is installed on Fedora. Your location may
be different.
