[gentoo-user] Java plugin in Midori web browser

[José Romildo Malaquias]

I need help getting java plugin working in the Midori web browser.

I have dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.51 installed on my ~amd64
system.

The plugin works with Firefox.

I used icedtea-bin for most everything.

I do not use that browser.
Have you check for information in the relevant bug reports: [1] ;
at it might be a good place to start some research.
[1] bugs.gentoo.org

There was bug report for this issue. So I made one:

I don't use midori, but according to their FAQ it uses firefox's plugin, so
run:

eselect java-nsplugin list

And check that it's properly set. Then try:

# MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins midori

Replace midori with whatever the midori executable is called.

Now are you sure that it works with firefox? I ask because I use the same
package and I recently noticed that it's not working with firefox. What firefox
version you have?

It is already configured:

# eselect java-nsplugin list

Available 64-bit Java browser plugins

Replace midori with whatever the midori executable is called.

It seems that Midori is not seeing the Java plugin and the test page
. I am getting the following when testing for the Java plugin:

% ls -l /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins
total 18840
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 67 Dec 31 2014 javaplugin.so -> //usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8-javaplugin.so

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18672 Jul 27 10:47 libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so

% MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins midori http://javatester.org/version.html
[...]
ERROR: Didn't find JVM under /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins
WebKitPluginProcess: ../../../../src/plugin/solaris/plugin2/common/JavaVM.c:170: InitializeJVM: Assertion `foundJVM' failed.


Also, loading the page
https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-java-installed in Midori shows
that the Java plugin is disabled.


Any more clues?

Yes, it works with Firefox. But first it may be necessary to give
permissions to execute Java applications from the site of interest.

After running the Java Control Panel (jcontrol) and adding the site
http://javatester.org/ to the exception site list (in the Security tab),
the plugin is correctly detected, as can be seen in the attached image.

Have you tried to go into 'Preferences > Extensions' it is probably
listed there, and you can enable/disable it?

The Java plugin is not listed there.
