I absolutely need a working java plugin with firefox to access a website for my work. I was formally on 10.2 and an update broke this. I fixed it after regressing from Java 1.5 down to 1.4.2. I updated my computer to 10.3 in anticipation of a better solution. Sadly I am 64bit and this involved changing all my java and browser versions to 32bit ones. But having done that I have firefox and java and it seems to work for the sun java tester. However, it does not work for the website I need to use. Is there any simple way for me to revert to a java version 1.4.2 given that this is not in the yast repos for 10.3?

Konqueror does a better job with Java. It does not need a plugin -- uses the real jre runtime. On 1/17/08, auxsvr@gmail.com <auxsvr@gmail.com> wrote:

Which is not true :) Konqueror ignore security settings. It use javaplugin viewer directly which is bad. Anyway I solve this always by downloading 64b java from sun and sett manualy my environment. It is not so big problem.

Hi Pavel, Where did you get the 64Bit version of JAVA - definitely NOT from SUN as you claim as SUN has never made the 64bit available. I am very interested in this as I need the 64bit java!

Have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/How_To_use_Java_with_Firefox_on_64-bit_openSuSE_10.3 I still need to clean it up, but all the info is there to have a parallel version of Firefox 32bit with Java coexist in your 64b system. -- Carlos FL "It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority.

Well, yes i had this in 10.2, and that worked. The only problem with the 64bit java version is the plugin. it is 32 bit, that is why it does not works... i thought Pavel wrote he had a solution for the plugin.. ;-) Until now, the only 64bit plugin is the blackdown, but that is verion 1.4, and it is an RC version. I wounder why that pkg is not maintained, because that works. - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.

Pavel: Now you've scared me. I assumed when I put the path of the java executable in Konqueror that that was what was running. If this is not true, why is it there? The path I use in Konqueror is: /usr/java/latest/jre/bin/java (the default location of the openJDK install) in Java Runtime Settings. How can this possibly violate the java security policy on my machine? And why do you say Konqueror is only running a plugin? Incidentally, this is on AMD64 with the 64 bit JDK. Thanks for helping me understand this. I am sure there are others here laboring under the same misunderstanding that Konqueror runs the java for which we've given it the path.

Really? Do you have a 64bit plugin from Sun? Should you tell me a little more? Where do you found it? Because the official release from Sun (https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/developer.html) doesn't include the 64bit plugin anymore.

I resorted to downloading 1.4.2 from the 10.2 repos and rpm'ing them in. The web app (webct) works now but most other java is a bit broken! I am using 32bit firefox. While the 32/64bit thing wasn't fundamental here (broken webct was), the whole thing is a bit of a shambles, imho, 10.3 should have shipped with a 32bit firefox or at least an option for this. Sorting it out is not trivial. ------------------ Many browser pluigins do not yet work with 64bit browesers, would you like to use a 32bit browser with all the plugins instead?
