[arch-general] Java applets in Arch64
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

You might want to try bin32-swiftfox-athlon64 from aur. I got it running on my 64bit box with flash, works like a charm! You might have to extract the i686 java package into the /opt/lib32 folder though.

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
I have a chroot with a complete separated arch32 running. Everytime I start firefox - I start it via dchroot -d firefox and then I have flash, java & much more like acrobatplugin. AND I don't clash 32bitty things into my arch64. When these things are fixed - simply rm -rf /opt/arch32! Unfortunately I don't find the wikientry for setting up an arch32-chroot anymore. But it was fairly easy! -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version

gcc-gcj provides a java environment and an alpha state plugin. the plugin already works in _some_ cases. java at all works quiet well. we use it to build and run OpenOffice.org, Azureus and some more packages. you can try if the plugin fits your needs by installing the java-gcj-compat package. -AndyRTR

Thanks, I tried that and for some applets it works indeed. Sadly not for the one I need but I managed to find a weird error in stdout that could be a clue (but I'll post that in a new thread). -- Cheers, Ondřej
