F17 java issues

[heyub]

I had trouble with java applications running in browsers (google chrome and firefox) so I updated java. However, the only result was that both firfox and google chrome claim that java is not installed. I tried reinstalling java but again that did not work.

I have tried enabling java via browser settings but java doesn't even appear as an option.

Thanks! Got java running again.

There's also a GTK based GUI tool to help with modifying alternatives:

yum install galternatives

so you don't have to always use the 'alternatives' command line function
