Firefox missing plugin - java runtime environment

Hi

Firefox tells me that there is a missing plugin - java runtime environment.

However it seems that java is installed in BT4.

So whats wrong? What should I do.

Well I have one solution, but its not good, I installed VMware and in there Windows Xp. Its not optional solution, but its work. However I would like to solve java issue in BT4

So if java is installed did you enable it? Did you turn of the "no-script" add-on so that it will not interfere with java? Are there any error messages?
I mean we can't help if you don't provide details.

hi,

SUN java 6 is already installed, if you do a: java -version
but not the necessary plugin.

Install additional packages

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

---

Start firefox and test if java is working:

Of course you don't have to use SUN's engine; to check if you have other onces
installed:

Code:

---

update-java-alternatives -l

---

You can always switch to another release, with the command:

Code:

---

sudo update-java-alternatives -s {use one of the java engines you see with the list command}

---

/brtw2003

No-scrips is disabled, and Java is enabled in firefox, (aint that default?)

There is no error message, ff tells that plugin is missing and leads ti javas page.
