Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.11-1
I have installed java jre6 update 3 following the debian way:
$fakeroot make-jpkg jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin (generating the deb package)
#dpkg -i sun-j2re1.6_1.6.0+update3_i386.deb (installing the deb package)
Then I have created the symlink to enable the plugin for all the users:
#ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/
But the plugin wasn't recongnized, then I looked for possible places to put the
plugin and I found:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla-iceweasel/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
/etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so
/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/
Which one is the right place to put the iceweasel plugins? Specifically tje
java jre plugin?
I suggest to use a standard name and location, it was well when the directory
was '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/' and the name of the plugin was
'libjavaplugin_oji.so'.
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux testing (lenny), kernel 2.6.22-3-686 #1 SMP and
libc6 2.7-6.

While it should take plugins from /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins, the
canonical path for plugins is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
