another java party

[paulywauly]

i have an 8300 dell desktop
i am using fed 11
i used autoten and downloaded and installed the latest java 1.6

i am trying to get java to work in my web browser to play yahoo games it will take me to the room areas and even let me sit down to play a game but after that point all i get is the room opening up and the ads are displayed at the top of the page but no table (no other players no cards)

Maybe you have to add symbolic link to libjavaplugin into ~/.mozilla/plugins

From Wikipedia:
symbolic link (also symlink or soft link) is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution


Something like: replace jre1.6.*_* by what you have installed
su -c 'ln -s /opt/jre1.6.*_*/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so'

You have to restart firefox
On Firefox you can go to tools/Add-on/Plugins to check if it is installed, you should see a Java***something, on a side note Fedora comes with openJDK, but that's fine you can install whatever you want.
