Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?
Fortunately in one instance I am having the problem on an Oracle/Sun system that I have under support, and so I logged a call with them. They told me to ensure I am running JRE 1.5 or better, and of course I had not been. So I installed JR 1.7 (latest) from their RPMs, and then followed the instructions here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-install-linux-13...
To create a link in my .mozilla/plugins directory :
[amckay@solexa-db ~]$ ls -al !$ ls -al .mozilla/plugins/ total 7 drwxr-xr-x+ 2 amckay amckay 3 Dec 7 13:14 . drwxr-xr-x+ 5 amckay amckay 5 Nov 16 09:25 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 amckay amckay 43 Dec 7 13:14 libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jre1.7.0_01/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so [amckay@solexa-db ~]$ pwd /home/amckay [amckay@solexa-db ~]$
And then I restart Firefox and check the installed plugins that it thinks it has, and sure enough it has that one running. But still I go to a JNLP app and get only XML, no app.
Anyone?

Hey folks,
I'm trying to use a 5.3 box to run some JNLP apps, but all I get is a view of XML.
I try doing some googling and don't come up with much other than this one thread that says I may need both 32 and 64 bit Java to run JNLP. But it is not clear to me how to do that.
thanks, -Alan
