After installing Sun-Java you should run " update-alternatives --config java " and select the default java installation as sun-java and then go to the mozilla plugins directory that should be /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins and run following command. "ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so libjavaplugin.so" But i have an 64 bit version of kubuntu. If you usede 32 bit you can find the plugin file somewhere in "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/ " After that konqueror search plugin directory of mozilla and can find java plugin. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 6:53 AM, A.J.

However, when having trouble with Java, realise, that whether using *ubuntu-variants of Fedora or other variants, it is important not to mix the open variants op Java (OpenJDK) with the other variants. That will certainly get you into trouble. At one point, I had to uninstall everything concerning Java and then install the stock Java platform (in this case Fedora) and that appeared to work fine. About OpenOffice (which is Sun as well), you might try getting support from Sun by opening a ticket on their bugzilla site (sorry, don't have the URL :-) ). So, try, uninstalling all java and using only stock ubuntu java platform, see if that works. Otherwise, file a bug-ticket and although it will take time, you will get support. Hope this helps.
