HOWTO: make “the java plugin” work on Firefox in Fedora 10 / Linux Distro?

1) locate the file named libjavaplugin_oji.so on your box by issuing the following command at the prompt:


[dkd903@dkd903-laptop ~]$ locate libjavaplugin_oji.so


you`ll find that the file libjavaplugin_oji.so is available in the /usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ directory.


2) Then what you need to do is just link the .so file symbolically to the mozilla plugins folder, and you are done:


[dkd903@dkd903-laptop ~]$ sudo   ln  -s  
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so  
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
