How to enable Java in Ubuntu
Hi,
here is a short recipe how to enable Java applets and the Java console in Ubuntu (and others with the same installation tool set), compiled from a previous contribution and another hint somewhere:
sudo -i
apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
cd /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions
jar -xvf `find /usr/lib/jvm -name ffjcext.zip`
exit
restart Firefox
(normally not required: enable Java)
Hope it helps,
Thomas
