1. If for some reason OpenOffice can't use JDK15 and it needs JDK14
can I still keep JDK15 installed or that would cause a conflict ?
The openoffice Makefile has this:
.if !defined(WITHOUT_JAVA)
USE_JAVA= yes
JAVA_VERSION= 1.4+
JAVA_BUILD= jdk
.endif
FWIW:
I built OO WITHOUT_JAVA, and haven't missed it. Not sure what it was
needed for. Admittedly I don't do a lot with OO... docs, spreadsheets,
open the occasional M$ Office doc. Everything seems to work just fine
without java.
You might want to change that to 1.5 and try again. I am just guessing
though.
2. What am I missing with Firefox ? If JDK15 doesn't work with Firefox
I wil install JKD14, although I thought it should work and be detected
by the browser. Do I have to do any linking or specifying a path for
the plugin ? If so please elaborate.
Thanks in advance.
Looks like the firefox Makefile hard-codes the path to the java plugin:
JPI_LIST?=\
${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.1/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
${LOCALBASE}/diablo-jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
\ ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Perhaps you could add the jdk1.5 path to the very start of this list and
try again? The work around would be to just create a softlink manually
for 1.5. This is the 1.4.2 link:
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins$ ls -l libjavaplugin_oji.so
lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 62 Jan 13 19:00
libjavaplugin_oji.so -
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Not sure if this is still true but I believe jdk15 is still in beta or
if not, then it has only just been released fully.
