Hello. Package Manager reports (with a green checkmark) that I have java-1.6.0 installed on my machine (running Cent 5.3), but it seems to not be running. I used http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and got "Something is wrong. Java is not working."
Perhaps I'm confused on which program I need to use java-coded apps. PM lists this app as "OpenJDK Runtime Environment" - is this it?
[mykolas@sr1220 ~]$ rpm -q jdk jre package jdk is not installed package jre is not installed
Can someone explain, or provide a link to a particular webpage that would clue me in? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
There's Java HowTos on the CentOS Wiki

I use Sun's JDK, so the following may or may not work in OpenJDK.
The JAVA_HOME here is Sun's JDK:
ln -s $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10/plugins/libnpjp2.so
You'll probably have to create the plugin directory under firefox - and your version of firefox may be different.
On my machine, I linked
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10/plugins -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
then linked the Java library to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
Restart your browser and you should see
libnpjp2.so
as the Java plugin.
