Hello,
I need to be able to use java applets on my Arch64 box. From what I found on the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_FAQ) it should work out of the box in Konqueror but unfortunately it isn't the case for me.
I tried the following two pages containing applets, neither seems to work. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/applet/getStarted.html http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/
I do have the java packages (both jre and jdk), I have java enabled in Konqueror, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do something else.
Truth to be told the best solution would be to have applets working in Firefox since since I need them working in an intranet web application that is not exactly 100% compatible with Konqueror, I'm afraid. Is there a working solution for Firefox?
-- Cheers, Ondřej
The only way I've found to get a Java web browser plugin to work on Arch64 is to use Blackdown JRE from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=6085 Unfortunately it only supports 1.4.2, so if you need some fancy >=1.5 features, you might be out of luck. Hope this helps, Mark
