Note:- Please use one of the following method and each method install diffrent version of JRE
Method 1
Install openjdk using the following command from your terminal
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
Install Java for browser – firefox/chrome..
For running applets in your web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, you need to install icedtea plugin. Execute the following command from your terminal
sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin
According to my research, the working directory of the Mozilla Firefox 4.0 plugins in Ubuntu 11.04 is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Also, the working directory for the Java JRE is /opt/java/jre/.
All we have to do is to create a symbolic link of the libnpjp2.so file inside the plugins folder of mozilla.
1 | cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins |
2 | sudo ln -s /opt/java/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so |
To verify that Java is installed in your browser, check here.
use a 32 bit jre. sun jre 1.6.0 update 16 worked fine for me, as did the 32bit openjdk.
Simply tell firefox to open the jnlp with the 32-bit javaws you install. You may need to run javaws /path/to/your/saved/jnlp to see if there are any 32 bit libraries missing as well. In my case it bitched that it couldn't find libXtst so I just did a yum -y install libXtst.i586 on Fedora 11 and I was working; obviously wiht Ubuntu commands will be a little different, but I'm more or less confident similar steps will get you working...
