Tip: Build your own Java Oracle module

Here is a place for your projects which are not officially supported by the Porteus Team. For example: your own kernel patched with extra features; desktops not included in the standard ISO like Gnome; base modules that are different than the standard ISO, etc...

Tip: Build your own Java Oracle module

Post#1 by Slaxmax » 09 Apr 2014, 18:54

EDIT: update script 03/06/2015

Build your own java oracle module
Now with GUI interface

Java plugin only works in firefox (NPAPI)
Chrome, Chromium and Opera use (PPAPI) not supported in java oracle yet.

steps
A - download the XZM java builder module and active
http://www.mediafire.com/download/74e9z ... noarch.xzm

B - dowload latest java oracle tar.gz file
http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp

see...
choose 2nd option if your system is i486 (x86)
choose 3rd option if your system is x86_64 (x64)

To make java module
Open java builder application in system tab or open in terminal
example

Code: Select all

I have installed Porteus 64bit in my hd.

I did the following method:

1) Download the jdk-8-linux-x64.rpm

2) rpm2xzm jdk-8-linux-x64.rpm

3) Move the (jdk-8-linux-x64.xzm) genereted .xzm file to /mnt/sda1/porteus/modules

4) Open terminal and login as root

5) In the terminal type: cd /mnt/sda1/porteus/modules

6) And type: activate jdk-8-linux-x64.xzm

Why when i type the command line "java -version", in the terminal, appears the following messagem ?

bash: java: command not found

I agree.
Extract the zip folder only. Do not extract the java
In the terminal login as root
then follow the example

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# cd /home/guest/java-builder 
root@porteus:/home/guest/java-builder# ./java.SlackBuild /home/guest/jre-7u51-linux-i586.tar.gz 
Ok, I Extracted the java-builder.zip file and did not Extract the the java jre-...gz file. When I Extracted the java-builder.zip file I got a java-builder folder. And in that folder I have another java-builder folder which in turn has the java.SlackBuild file. Do I need to move the java.SlackBuild files to the first java-builder folder?


--edit--
Ok, this appears to be working for me.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su

Found it!! :Yahoo!: The .xzm module is indeed in /home/guest/.

AND does indeed work on all the java sites I visit. Still no sound but definitely animation.

Thanks Slaxmax. :friends:

Slaxmax, will you be developing a module for java 7.55?


- update -
Never mind. Your instructions and java-builder app work just fine with the new 7.55 Java version. :good:

@Slaxmax
Thank you for your great Tip. :Rose: Now Firefox works fine with Java!

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
パスワード: 
root@porteus:~# cd /home/guest/Downloads/java-builder
root@porteus:/home/guest/Downloads/java-builder# ./java.SlackBuild /home/guest/Downloads/jre-7u55-linux-i586.tar.gz

Creating /tmp/tmp3225/jre-7u55-i586-1.xzm

DONE
go to /home/guest and see the module jre-7u55-i586-1.xzm
root@porteus:/home/guest/Downloads/java-builder# 
jre-7u51-linux-i586.tar.gz updated to jre-7u55-linux-i586.tar.gz

For next boot, is it better to move the module jre-7u55-i586-1.xzm to /porteus/modules folder?
Or is it OK to leave the file in /home/guest? Thank you for your attention.

It has to be moved into /porteus/modules if you want it to be loaded at each bootup of the computer. It is the same for any other module. :wink:

However, if you want to use it only once in a while, the best place to put it is in the /porteus/optional folder. Though you will have to activate it manually or at bootup with the tab button and the load cheatcode.

Bonjour francois! Thanks for your prompt reply.
It is the same for any other module.
:good:
I got it! I moved it into the /porteus/optional folder as you kindly suggested.

Je vous remercie.

@francois
I learned it for 7 weeks in Vichy, France a long long time ago.
If you really want to study Japanese, I would be very pleased to teach you.
In exchange you teach me Linux and Porteus xfce. Isn't it a good idea? :D

Ok, I've done the downloads and built the java module, put it in my /mnt/sda/porteus3.1/Modules folder and rebooted but now I'm have trouble getting 3.1's Firefox to add it as a plugin. I've done the Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and it's not there. And if I click on a website's java app I get prompted to "Install plugin..." which gets me to a "Manual Install" option. The webpages at Mozilla don't help. What am missing?

Activate your module, find libnpjp2-"installed-arch".so file, next try as root this:
cp -s /path/to/libnpjp2-$arch.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

and relaunch Firefox.
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.

Thanks tome. Firefox now has the plugin and says it's up todate. Unfortunately it also says "The Java plugin has crashed" when I tried to use it. :(
