Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Intrepid has support for the latest version of java (version 6
update 10 build 33), but the old plugin is still enabled, not the new
one with support for draggable applets, jnlp-based applets and other new
features. These applets for example will not work: https://scenegraph-
demos.dev.java.net/demo-applets.html
To fix this I ran:
sudo update-alternatives --install
/etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 50
sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so
But perhaps other plugin alternatives should point to the new plugin location:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
instead of:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/l
ibjavaplugin_oji.so
That includes those listed in /usr/lib/jvm/.java-6-sun.jinfo:
xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so
firefox-javaplugin.so
iceape-javaplugin.so
iceweasel-javaplugin.so
mozilla-javaplugin.so
midbrowser-javaplugin.so
xulrunner-javaplugin.so
