English Applications
#1

Hi everybody!
I’m a newbie on this forum so forgive me if it’s not the right place to ask my question …
So, I seem to have a problem with java since when I want go to a site like “wordle” (Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds), I get the message “jcjwebplugin error Failed to run /etc/alternatives/…/…/bin/java” under Opensuse 11.2. can you help me solve this problem?
I use Firefox 3.6.6, but i’ve got the same problem with Seamonkey or Chromium.
Thank you
Jean

Wordle works perfectly here, so i guess you are not using the SUN
java…open YaST > Software and search on java, right click to
remove/delete all non-SUN java packages and then click to add the
needed SUN java packages…

note: there may (i don’t know since i don’t know which version of
openSUSE you are running–in the future please say) but there may be
several different numbered versions, like:

java-1_4_[something]-sun[something]
java-1_5_[something]-sun[something]
java-1_6_[something]-sun[something]

i’d suggest you pick the newest (the one with the largest number) and
install the
Java™ 6 Runtime Environment
Browser plugin files for java-1_6[something]

i don’t think you have to install the others packages for the latest
java (SDK, runtime library etc) but once you click to accept YaST
may say it needs to add more pieces to satisfy dependencies, accept
what it ask for…

then, try Wordle again…but, be patient is was not instantaneous
when i just tried it…
