JAVA plugin for 64bit browsers

English Applications
1

This JDK (JRE) version is still in development, but for me it works and
is very stable. If You have any problems, go to this ‘forum’
(http://forums.java.net/jive/index.jspa?categoryID=1).

1.Download the latest JDK (JRE) for 64bit systems from this ‘site’
(http://download.java.net/jdk6/). This is the 3rd build of JDK (JRE) SE
6u12 (I always download the binary .rpm file; if You prefer, You can
download the binary self-extracting file, and find the install
instructions ‘here’ (http://tinyurl.com/3cvhdm))
2.Now open terminal, and (as root) go to the destination, were You
store the downloaded files:

s-u- -r-o-o-t–

                          • -c-d- -<-d-o-w-n-l-o-a-d- -f-o-l-d-e-r-)-

3.When You’re there, You have to set the executable permissions:

c-h-m-o-d- -a-±x- -<-f-i-l-e->-.-b-i-n-

4.And then run the binary:

.-/-<-f-i-l-e->-.-b-i-n-

5.The installation will start. You’ll be prompt to accept the license
agreement.
6.The last thing to do is to set up a link to You’re browser (I have
only tried this plugin on Firefox 3.04, but it should work for Opera as
well):

                          • -l-n- —s-
                            -/-u-s-r-/-j-a-v-a-/-j-d-k-1-.-6-.-0-_-1-2-/-j-r-e-/-l-i-b-/-a-m-d-6-4-/-l-i-b-n-p-j-p-2-.-s-o-
                            -/-u-s-r-/-l-i-b-6-4-/-b-r-o-w-s-e-r—p-l-u-g-i-n-s-/-l-i-b-n-p-j-p-2-.-s-o-

And You are done.

Worked great with Opensuse 11.0. Be sure to update Firefox and xulrunner
to the x64 version.
Opera: didn’t work for me… :~(
Thx anyway!

What’s the advantage (if any) of this over the IcedTea plugin which was
installed by default on my 11.1 x86_64 system? I don’t take much notice
of Java but I’ve only just started using 64bit Linux so have been poking
around a bit at stuff like browser plugins. I’ve pointed Firefox at a
few Java applets I know of and they’ve all worked.
