Since Sun requires users to accept their license agreement prior to installing the jre it may prevent the jre64 package installation from completing successfully if you haven't already accepted their agreement.ĭownload the latest 64-bit jre from Sun.

Important: Make sure to install the sun-java6-bin package prior to installing the new jre package.

However I have posted the instructions below on how to create your own deb packge which makes for an incredibly easy installation of the 64-bit java plugin.
#Ubuntu enable java in firefox software license
Unfortunately due to Sun's software license I can't redistribute the jre so making the deb package available for download isn't possible. While this is not necessarily a cumbersome task it is certainly an inconvenience so I eventually ended up creating a deb package to automate this task. This means that you have to manually download, extract, and install the 64-bit plugin yourself if you want to be able to view java applets in 64-bit versions of Firefox. Sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.05/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.As many of you have probably discovered the jre available from the Ubuntu repository does not contain a 64-bit java plugin for 64-bit browsers. Sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.05/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-plugins/plugins/ Sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.05/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ Then re-create java shortcuts for Firefox(es): Sudo update-java-alternatives -s $(update-java-alternatives -l | cut -d’ ‘ -f1) Sudo rm -r /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/plugins/libjava*Īll of these entries must have /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/ as alternative Sudo rm -r /usr/lib/firefox-plugins/plugins/libjava*
Sudo rm -r /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjava* Now go to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java In my case is the last one from the Ubuntu repo:Ĭonfigure java with the following command Open Firefox and typing about:plugins in the address bar and check for java plugin Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing) Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105) This is a two-step process.įirst, check that the JRE is properly installed by running the following command from a terminal. You'll want to confirm that your system is configured properly for Sun's JRE. Select Yes, and hit Enter the JRE will finish installing. You'll see a dialog that asks you if you agree with the DLJ license terms. Once it downloads the packages and begins the installation, you'll get a screen that contains the Sun Operating System Distributor License for Java and hit Enter to continue. Sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts Since you are going to be installing the JRE and the web browser plug-in, you'll be using the following command from a terminal Sun-java6-source - Contains source files for the JDKįirst you need to check multiverse repository enabled or not after that open a terminal window. Sun-java6-plugin - Contains the plug-in for Mozilla-based browsers Sun-java6-jre - Contains the metapackage for the JRE Sun-java6-jdk - Contains the metapackage for the JDK
Sun-java6-fonts - Contains the Lucida TrueType fonts from the JRE Sun-java6-doc - Contains the documentation Sun-java6-demo - Contains demos and examples JavaScript, a scripting language, shares a similar name and has similar syntax, but is not directly related to Java.Ĭurrently Ubuntu has the following Java packages The language itself derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities.
