Firefox missing plugin - java runtime environment

[halfdone]

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

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:

update-java-alternatives -l

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

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

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.

Install additional packages

apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

It worked, now firefox doesn tell no plugin, now it freezes, and I have to terminate ff.
