Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox

You can only get the plugin for Java 7, Java 8 for Solaris is 64 bit only, because "Solaris runs on servers" and the plugin was 32 bit only. If you compile OpenJDK, using IcedTea, you should be able to get a plugin working for you. I just resort to keeping the latest Java 7 install lying around.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK The Web browser plugin and Web Start , which are part of Oracle Java, are not included in OpenJDK. Sun previously indicated that they would try to open-source these components, but neither Sun nor Oracle have
