eselect java-nsplugin list
Available 32-bit Java browser plugins
[1] emul-linux-x86-java-1.6 current [2]
emul-linux-x86-java-1.6-plugin2
Available 64-bit Java browser plugins
[1] icedtea6 current
But, here is where I'm at a loss and hoping someone can kick me in the
right direction. When I launch my 64-bit seamonkey and do about:plugins
icedtea6 doesn't show up and pages with java applets indicate I need a
java plugin.
Take a look at flameeyes' blog. He had a writeup on 64-bit icedtea and
some of the remaining hurdles to getting it really working properly on
amd64, probably a couple weeks ago.
well, maybe normal users or users who don't really care about proprietaryware
would do better to wait for the latest java update to hit portage,
since it includes
an official sun java nsplugin for 64bits.
as for iced tea i think that it's the same of openjdk. am i wrong on this?
Thanks Duncan and Beso. I knew I could count on you guys. :D
I already read through flameeyes' blog, but was just hoping that I was missing
something simple or someone else on this list had it working. Perhaps the best
thing
to do is wait for update 12 to sun's java and the 64-bit plugin that will come
with it.
('Bout darned time!!)
After that, the next project will be to dump the multilib profile.
