Comment #12 on issue 16787 by behanz: Java Plugin not working http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16787
Running chromium debug build rev.24046 on a purely 32bit gentoo system. Two java plugins are provided: /usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/sun-jdk-1.6-javaplugin.so -> /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.14/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/sun-jdk-1.6-plugin2-javaplugin.so -> /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.14/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so I checked, firefox uses the first one (ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so). I tried swapping it for the plugin2, (libnpjp2.so), and it works too. With chrome, the first one (ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so) does not work at all. It appears to not even provide a single mime-type in "about:plugins". No errors are printed on the console. The second one (libnpjp2.so) provides all the necessary details in "about:plugins", but everytime it is read for information, it prints a lot of console messages similiar to: [29400:29401:4057703287048:WARNING:<chrome dir>/src/webkit/glue/plugins/plugin_lib_linux.cc(54)] Couldn't parse plugin info: application/x-java-applet (and the same for application/x-java-bean, a bunch of messages for each) When trying to launch a java applet, it fails with the above reported error message "Didn't find JVM under <insert chrome plugin dir here>". The plugin itself seems to check for %s/server/libjvm.so and %s/client/libjvm.so, where %s is the directory where the plugin was started from. My first wild guess would be that the plugin is supposed to be a symlink into the jvm directory, and the plugin loader, before actually loading the plugin has to readlink() all the way until it reaches the file itself. (which chrome doesn't do) The plugin shared object is physically located exactly where the other files (libjvm and friends) are present in the correct relative paths. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
