Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK The Web browser plugin and Web Start https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_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 done so.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK#cite_note-4 The only currently available free plugin and Web Start implementation are those provided by IcedTea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IcedTea. you could have a look at: http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web and see if that works for you ... :) On 29 April 2015 at 10:18, Udo Grabowski (IMK) udo.grabow...@kit.edu wrote: On 28/04/2015 22:00, Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss wrote: Hello, A few days ago I downloaded the latest sources of openjdk8in order to build a 32bit binary.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox
As said, OpenJDK is not Oracle JDK and has NO browser plugins. Some times one makes some intuitive assumptions which obviously most of the times do not hold... Thus I thought it was clear that I was talking about the Oracle JDK. So to be absolutely clear, I cannot find the browser plugin in the Oracle JDK distribution.

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. The downside is I need to either use Java 7 as the default (setting my JAVA_HOME in my profile) and changing my PATH and JAVA_HOME when I want to use the newer Java 8, or put wrappers around specific applications that require an old JAVA On 29 April 2015 at 15:13, Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org wrote: As said, OpenJDK is not Oracle JDK and has NO browser plugins.

OK but why is there a plugin for both 32 and 64 bit Linux systems? If you compile OpenJDK, using IcedTea, you should be able to get a plugin working for you. That is exactly what I am doing right now.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox
The 64-bit binaries do not contain deployment tools such as Java Web Start and Java Plug-in, therefore desktop integration is no longer required. Required? I guess this is a clever way to say that we provide no support for Solaris. But of course they do provide support for Linux.
