在Ubuntu中安装Chrome的Java插件

Question

I do have JDK, everything works fine in Ubuntu, I mean IDE, some apps, I'm able to develop and run projects, but I got a message in Chrome: Java(TM) is required to display this content

I need to run this applet. How do I do that? I need to run it in Chrome because of the GWT plugin installed here. Should I add some parameters in a script, that would run it? Or is there another way? I saw links that proposed to install Java plugin for Chrome in Windows and Mac, but not Linux. Thanks in addvance.

I made a link to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/libnpt.so in /opt/google/chrome/plugins , it didn't help (well, it's not libnpjp2.so , which is recommended for this case, but it's the closest one I saw there).

Update : I found libnpjp2.so on my machine, the following command helped: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_03/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

Answer 1

Current Chrome version do not requires more this option.

To install java plugin for browsers , if you're using packaged java, install one of the following packages according you java version:

sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin

or

sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin

To check you version, open a terminal (command line) and type:

java -version

Java 1.6 will require icedtea6-plugin , Java 1.7 icedtea-7-plugin .

Answer 2

On Ubuntu 13.04 x64 ,

sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin

is working great. Thank you.

Answer 3

The best solution I found, (none of these suggestions worked for me), is as followings: First install Icedtead pluging by:

1. sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin

Then in your chrome browser go to:

1. chrome-> Settings-> Show Advanced Settings-> Privacy then click on Content Settings -> Plug-ins then click on Disable Individual Plug-in
2. Disable both "IceTea-Web Plugin" and "Java(TM)"
3. Restart the browser.
4. chrome-> Settings-> Show Advanced Settings-> Privacy then click on Content Settings -> Plug-ins then click on Disable Individual Plug-in
5. Enable only "IceTea-Web Plugin"
6. Enjoy !

Answer 4

From a previous question :

Yes, add --enable-plugins to your chrome command. It's currently not considered stable, but it works for me.

Actually, it seems to just work without that. Have you tried it? You can find a test applet here. Presumably you'll need Sun's Java installed.

see the link for further details. Lots of helpful answers.

没有办法运行java插件，因为chrome停止支持http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI插件

Answer 6

仍然适用于Opera 12.16和Ubuntu 14.04，但是需要安装两个Icedtea以获得applet工作
