Re: Installing java plugin in Mozilla?
It's working! There must be a bug in the java-package 0.27 for the TESTING release. Java works fine when I extract from the tarball. Now, I need to find out if this has been reported and log a bug- report if needed. I'll check unsupported first.

Re: Installing java plugin in Mozilla?
Well, I did get the right version of java-package installed so I
could create a .deb for the IBM java release. However, now when I
run a check to test java -version, I get an error saying it cannot
find the jvm.
When I created j2re1.4 or j2sdk1.4 the command worked. I don't know
if the 1.5 version requires the installation under the /opt as
documented on the web sit. The Debian packages I created are being
installed under /usr/lib.
Perhaps I can set up a link to /opt? I'm new to linux/unix and find
the documentation confusing. I see that Wolfgang also has it
installed in /usr/lib so maybe I just need to set up $PATH correctly
and use the ln command Wolfgang provided.

Hi!
I've successfully installed "ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz" a
long time ago
and it's got a java browser plugin, but it's still a bit buggy
because some
applets fail.
That's what I did to make the plugin work on my computer (after
installing
ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz):
1) I made a sym link from
/opt/ibm-java2-ppc-50/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
and /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
.. aditionally -- not being sure about it -- I think here, on Debian
unstable it was a good idea to also create a symlink to
mozilla-snapshot:
ln -s --force -i /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm/jre/bin/
libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-snapshot/plugins/
javaplugin_oji.so
2) Then, I executed:
# update-alternatives --config java
and chose /opt/ibm-java2-ppc-50/bin/java
It works if I use Konqueror, Mozilla and Firefox, but it doesn't
if I use
Opera.
Yes, same being true here for Konqueror, Mozilla and Firefox (I don't
have Opera installed), but I also had to add the Java path to my
~/.bash_profile: The $PATH setting now looks like this in there:
PATH=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm/jre/bin/:~/bin:"${PATH}"
After installing the debianised package please also see
file:///usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm/docs/en/
sdkandruntimeguide.lnx.en.htm#pathcons
for this.
You can try to make theese steps, close the browser, and open it
again to make
it rescan de plugins and go to the java test page
(http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml) to check if it
works.
Positive. Konqueror, Mozilla and Firefox all work with the page above
and the IBM Java ... :) (Except that I didn't even have to restart
Firefox to see a working Java. IIRC ... :)
And for those intending to install a debianised package (probably will
will make things much easier) of the IBM Java tarball. Something like:

Re: Installing java plugin in Mozilla?
Based on your feedback and another reply from Bigo, I'm convinced the IBM plugin should work in Mozilla and also Firefox. Now I am researching how to upgrade just the java-package from testing. From what I've read so far, this is documented under Keeping a Mixed System in the APT-HOWTO available on the www.debian.org web site and probably also on your debian system. I need the java-package from testing because it support the 1.5 version of the IBM java plugin.

Re: Installing java plugin in Mozilla?
Even though I have learned a lot, I've probably forgot much: I'm on my third install of Linux over the past two weeks. I haven't created the ibm-j2re1.5 package yet because the sarge java- package only supports ibm-j2re1.4 which does not have the javaplugin needed. I set a message to IBM support on this issue. I decided to try to update java-package from testing to 0.27 which does support ibm-j2re1.5. However, this is where my learning may be failing or not assimilated yet. I added testing main contrib non- free from the mirror to source.list. In order to have the java-package 0.27 available, I had(?) to select U in aptitude to make it available, which also means that I was going to update my system to testing level. Isn't there a way I could only have the new java-package installed from testing? Perhaps, the following: 1) add the testing entry to sources.list, 2) run aptitude u option to update the databases, 3) aptitude install java-package. Would this work? When I tried to update my whole system from sarge to testing it updated a lot of packages and failed with too many errors to continue. I tried to back out of this condition, but eventually decided reinstalling was just as quick! However, this wipes out my downloaded archives! Is there a way to skip the partitioning, use the current downloaded files (about an hours time), and fresh install back to sarge? This is my current task: reread the Debian reference, specifically chapter 6. This is getting too long, and perhaps the subject should be changed to Installing Debian, experience on an iMac powerpc!

If not, at least file a bugreport (see the package reportbug) with severity wishlist against java-package to tell them what your problem is. So, if I install my ibm-j2re1.4 package I created, then after I install Opera I should have a browser that supports java applets? I don't know anything about how Opera works with Java, but I'd guess that if the IBM jre 1.5 has the proper plugin, why exactly couldn't you use, say, Firefox? Different ABI's? I need a browser that will work with most commercial sites in the US. They seems to be IE specific and are picky about others. If you actually end up installing Opera, be sure to change its default identification from IE to Opera, so that the commercial sites you are using actually know that their customers happen to exercise their right to choose. And keeping an eye on the Free Java implementations isn't a bad thing also. They're evolving quite fast lately.

There is a plugin libjavaplugin_oji.so (not libjavaplugin_oijc.so) for mozilla/firefox for PPC in IBM Java 5.0 ( http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html ).

The above web site did answer some questions on how to set up a package from code you download. Is this still a valid method? There is no such plugin for PPC. If you want java functionalities in your browser, I suggest to switch to Opera: Opera does not rely on libjavaplugin_oijc.so but uses directly the JVM to render the applets.

Once you have installed opera (check out the forums on opera.com, you might find an apt-get repository!) open the preferences and in the "Advanced" tab select "Programs" and then "Java Options". Now enter the path to the /$JAVA_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/lib and validate the Java Path. If Opera does not complain, you are done. -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

So, you actually created ibm-j2re1.5, right? If not, at least file a bugreport (see the package reportbug) with severity wishlist against java-package to tell them what your problem is. > So, if I install my ibm-j2re1.4 package I created, then after I > install Opera I should have a browser that supports java applets? I don't know anything about how Opera works with Java, but I'd guess that if the IBM jre 1.5 has the proper plugin, why exactly couldn't you use, say, Firefox? Different ABI's? > I need a browser that will work with most commercial sites in the US. > They seems to be IE specific and are picky about others. If you actually end up installing Opera, be sure to change its default identification from IE to Opera, so that the commercial sites you are using actually know that their customers happen to exercise their right to choose. And keeping an eye on the Free Java implementations isn't a bad thing also. They're evolving quite fast lately.

Re: Installing java plugin in Mozilla?
re: There is no browser plugin for the PPC! And I think I know why! Guess what is missing from the IBM java 1.4.2 ppc archives? The libjavaplugin_oji.so file needed to link to! No wonder a lot of messages I read say use the Blackdown version. However, it's only 1.3.1! I did learn alot today. How to create a deb package from another archive. The file is in the IBM jre 1.5 archive, so I may give that a try, although the java-package 0.24 doesn't list it as supported. Guess I could update to 0.27, been there today and done that. So, if I install my ibm-j2re1.4 package I created, then after I install Opera I should have a browser that supports java applets? I need a browser that will work with most commercial sites in the US. They seems to be IE specific and are picky about others.
