hi how can use java plugin in chrome?
it seems impossible that work fine.
maybe java is not supported in chrome?
thanks
Probably the easiest way is to install java as a chrome extension.
If you need a specific type of Java (like Oracle Java), then there are other steps, but try the above first.
IMO,

but I don’t find any java extension for chrome, can you give the links, sorry?
From your Chrome browser…
Click on the menu button/icon which ordinarily should be to the far right of the address bar (where you type in URLs)
From the Dropdown that appears, click on “Settings”
Along the left margin click on “Extensions”
A page should then display “Chrome Web Store”
Enter “Java” in the input field and press your “Enter” key on the keyboard
View the results. One entry which is worth trying is “Java Web Technology”

I just verified this java web technology but it’s only a link to the java download page!!!
it’s not seems a java plugin for chrome
AFAIK Java is only available as NPAPI (i.e. Netscape) plugin, and Chrome/Chromium doesn’t support those any more since version 34.
Apparently it’s still possible to enable them though, maybe this will help:
http://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation
As I don’t use Chrome/Chromium myself, I haven’t tried that.
OTOH, this page Chromium Blog: Update on NPAPI Deprecation states:
NPAPI support was removed from Linux in Chrome 35.
So I guess you’re out of luck.
See also those bug reports, according to which I wouldn’t expect a solution soon:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=375909
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1791
it seems so strange that Chrome don’t support this plugin. anyway it not possible not know if and/or when it will be available again for chrome.
This is the official Oracle page which states the NPAPI requirement Wolfi refers to
https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml
So, no “in browser” Java in Chrome/Chromium/Canary in Linux. Maybe support for Java on other OS will sunset.
So, use another browser (like the recommended FF).
Or, if there is a specific situation, investigate whether that Java app can be accessed as a standalone instead of in the browser.
This is pretty interesting…
I took a quick spin through available Google documents and no reason for deprecating NPAPI was given although there is a small tidbit/warning to developers that through this API an app has full, unrestricted access to low level system functionality.
I don’t see anyone at FF or MS suggesting that they are planning also to deprecate… Does this mean that they have addressed this possible major security issue or are they simply evaluating the risk differently? Or is there some other unspoken reason to do this?
TSU
No idea about that mentioned security issue.
But IMHO Google created the PAPI interface in the first place to prevent other browsers from using their updated flash plugin. So that more users switch to their Chrome/Chromium browsers…
Maybe that “security issue” is just the “official” rectification.
And by deprecating NPAPI they maybe hope to make other plugin vendors switch to PAPI only as well, so they have an even greater advantage…:sarcastic:
OTOH, a wrapper plugin does already exist for NPAPI to be able to use PAPI plugins like the updated Flashplayer:
