Native 64bit Java plugin for Firefox, on Ubuntu.
Now there are no more reasons not to install 64bit Ubuntu. First is was Adobe with their native 64 bit Flash plug-in and now Sun has released a native 64 bit Java plug-in.
To install the 64 bit java plugin on Intrepid 8.10:
- Download the bin file here
- cd /opt
- sudo sh jre-6u12-ea-bin-b03-linux-amd64-22_dec_2008.bin
- cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
- sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_12/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
- Restart Firefox
Done!
