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...

Good idea though tome. This link is what is needed. :good:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# cp -s /usr/lib64/java/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so    /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
root@porteus:/home/guest# 
:)

-update-

It appears that this link works for the firefox 31.0 version in 04-firefox.xzm also.

Suggestion
Add to your script:
1.

Code: Select all

ln -sf /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
if [ "$JAVA_ARCH" = "x64" ], because firefox-x86_64 doesn't see java in lib64, it uses /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
I changed the script as the above message, but I see that there is no standard path to plugins.
I will change the script and make more this link.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# cp -s /usr/lib64/java/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so    /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

How about resources? I have a friend who installed on a windows machine and it was so bulky.

It is big, my 64bit .xzm module is 55MB. But it works for the Java apps I occasionally use, most of which are games. :oops:

Not the storage space, but CPU etc.

Now when I boot using an older jre-8u31-x86_64-1.xzm module I get an error msg in firefox stating "This plugin is vulnerable and should be updated" AND I have NO /usr/lib/mozilla directory. :unknown:
Check this...enable flash player

Thanks ephraimdov but I fail to see the connection between the java plugin and the flash player. :%)
