These instructions install the Java Plug-In and may require System Administrator access to configure Firefox to run NeXtMidas applets:
cd
into the browser's plugins
directory located in the Firefox installation:/opt/firefox/plugins
(This requires System Administrator access) Or ~/.mozilla/plugins
(Changes will only be effective for user)
$JAVAHOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns610
directory. $JAVAHOME
is the JDK's
installation directory, i386
is the
system platform type (use sol
on Solaris), and
ns610
is the browser class (ns
for Netscape/Mozilla followed by a semi-arbitrary
version number).32-bit Firefox: $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 64-bit Firefox: $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so NOTE: A 32-bit Firefox requires a 32-bit JDK plugin
ln -s library
"
(library
is the absolute path of the
library found in the previous step). The link must be a symbolic
link; you can not make a hard link or copy the library.Notes:
1) If you only use NeXtMidas as an applet on
Windows, then download the Plug-In from
http://www.java.com and
install it separately from the rest of JDK.
2) When switching between JDKs, Firefox's cache may need to be cleared and Firefox restarted.
