I have been trying to get the JAVA VM plugin setup but have not been successful. The steps I've done are as follows:- 1. COPIED THE .bin FILE IN THE /usr AND RAN IT AS ./j2sdk1.4.bin 2. vi /root/.bashrc AND CREATED THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES JAVA_HOME=/usr/j2sdk1.4.1_03 PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:PATH export JAVA_HOME
First of all, do you want to install the SDK/VM or just the plugin?
Secondly which .bin are you talking about? The one you downloaded from the sun site? If the .bin file is named xxxx.bin, run the command "sh xxxx.bin". This will ask your to agree to a licence and then extract the j2sdk RPM for you. Install this rpm using rpm -ivh.
After installation, edit the file /etc/profile and add the lines you mentioned at the end. Also, there is a slight modification to the PATH you have used above. $JAVA_HOME is going to be set to /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03
If you want to install the Java browser plugin, copy the appropriate plugin file from the plugins directory in $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386 ( or something similar). For example on my system, the file that is to be copied to the mozilla plugin directory is
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
