Ed, Thank you very much. My thanks also go out to Bryan J Smith and Brian Long for their help and suggestions. Soft linking the new plugin name was all that's needed to enable the EluminateLive! webcast site: # cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins # ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_18/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so . As soon as I quit and restarted Firefox, about:plugins promptly reported a new Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_18 section for libnpjp2.so with one entry for the application/x-java-vm MIME type, and sixteen entries apiece for the application/x-java-applet and application/x-java-bean MIME types. BTW, a note at the bottom of the page you linked is chilling: "Oracle is reviewing the Sun product roadmap and will provide guidance to customers in accordance with Oracle's standard product communication policies." Over the years finding Java information on Sun's web sites has been challenging enough. When Oracle finishes reorganizing things to their liking I'm sure it will be doubly difficult to find anything. :-/ --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
