The next generation IcedTea Plugin does support chromium: http://dbhole.wordpress.com/2009/08/26/icedtea-java-plugin-with-chromium-and-firefox-3-6a1/ Since it is still under development however, it is not in F12. You can manually compile icedtea and get it though. I will try to set up a wiki page by the end of the day with instructions on how to do it.

You won't be able to add slaves afterwards. They can only be done when
the alternative is installed. As for adding them for the Sun JRE/JDK,
the easiest way is to see what the openjdk rpm does and replace the
paths with where you install the Sun VM. To see what the openjdk rpms
do, you can run 'rpm -q --scripts java-1.6.0-openjdk{,-devel,-plugin}'

No, the Auto/Manual mode only decides which group is chosen. In Auto mode,
the group with highest priority is always selected. In manual, whatever is
selected stays that way even if a higher priority group is installed.
PS: Out of curiosity.. why do you need the Sun VM? Is something lacking
in OpenJDK?

Only Sun rpms install in /usr/java AFAIK. Removing those rpms should clean up that directory. Alternatively, those dirs may have come from manually extracting the Sun binary distribution, in which case you can just rm -rf them to clean up. > The libjavaplugin_oji.so is set to point to jre1.5... and I cannot remember > where I got that from. > So, my procedure would be: > Delete everything below /usr/java - download jre.1.5-- from Sun and install > it. > (I did also use www.java.com before) > I did not use .rpm downloads, some advice I picked up in some article I > read. > I have observed that the install procedure (starting the self extracting > .bin file) is creating some libraries, do I have to remove these as well, > or will they be overwritten? Everything extracted by the Sun .bin is in a single dir, so removing that should be enough. > I cannot remember where they were located, perhaps yum can list then .. > (that I cannot remember either, I am going to buy more memory! :-) ) > BTW: In what environment exactly did you manage to bring up the login > screen? > You use jre1.5--- ? > >> The open-java stuff does not work. openjdk in Fedora 9 currently uses the GCJ web plugin, which lacks LiveConnect support. So sites that make use of that will not work. We are working on that support, and you can always check out iced tea and try out the new experimental plugin if you like to live on the edge :) >> >> As far as I can tell you have both the open-java as well as the Sun java >> environments installed.

If you want to use the Sun plugin for example, make sure that the .so in the plugins dir (~/.mozilla/plugins/ or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins) is a _symlink_ to the .so in the java dir. Copying the file will probably not work.. For example, if you want to use the vm in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10/ , make sure you have a link: libjavaplug
