The following section describes how you can use Java in web browsers in order to be able to run applets published in web servers.
That is a tricky question. My answer would be: "No, but it doesn't hurt trying" (and don't forget to forward us your findings so we can update this document)
Yes, in Konqueror 3.1.1, you Settings->Configure Konqueror. The opened Control Module has a Java&JavaScript section where you can enter the location of your JVM. The configuration should look like this:
gp>As it says /usr/bin/java
it relies on the
update-alternatives
mechanism to point to a JVM that can serve as
a plugin. If you have Sun's J2RE installed, "Path to Java" might
also say something like /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/bin/java
Yes. Make a symbolic link in the /path/to/netscape/plugins
directory to the Java Plugin as can be found in Sun's J2RE:
/usr/local/netscape/plugins $ ls -la total 960 drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Apr 30 09:46 . drwxr-sr-x 9 root staff 4096 Apr 8 20:26 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2363 Feb 8 07:47 ShockwaveFlash.class -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 946108 Feb 8 07:47 libflashplayer.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 64 Apr 30 09:46 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 19396 Feb 8 07:47 libnullplugin.so
If you have Blackdown's J2RE installed the link has to be made to
/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
.
Yes, the mechanism is identical to that of Netscape. However, the plugin
directory in this case is usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
.
