When trying to access a webpage that uses java applets, I found that the applets wouldn't load for me any more.
I'm running: equery -q l '*tea*' dev-java/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.5 dev-java/icedtea-sound-1.0.1 dev-java/icedtea-web-1.5.1-r1 eselect java-vm list Available Java Virtual Machines: [1] icedtea-bin-7 system-vm firefox -v Mozilla Firefox 31.7.0 The plugincheck URL shown below is showing my IcedTea-Web Plugin as unknown. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ I ran firefox in the debuging mode as suggested on the IcedTea-Web website: http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true firefox 2>&1 | tee plugin.log Here's what it says: Your custom jre (/bin/java check) /etc/java-config-2/current-icedtea-web-vm is not valid. Please fix deployment.jre.dir in your deployment.properties. In attempt to run using default one. Failed to spawn applet viewer Failed to execute child process "/opt/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.3/jre/bin/java" (No such file or directory) plugin_test_appletviewer return Your custom jre (/bin/java check) /etc/java-config-2/current-icedtea-web-vm is not valid.

Unable to find java executable /opt/icedtea-bin-7.2.5.3/jre/bin/java Not sure why the path to java above is for 'icedtea-bin-7.2.5.3'.
