[Bug 137665] Re: firefox java plugin missing

[Nicolas Velasquez]

Hello,

sudo update-alternatives --config java gives:
*         1    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
          2    /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
 +        3    /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java

Note: I downloaded the jsdk 1.4 and packaged it on a deb, then dpkg -i
it.

When I ran sudo update-alternatives --all, it showed me the same as
above for java.

I'm running Gutsy, kubuntu 32bits.

The only thin I had to do to fix the problem was the creation of a link
between the firefox plugins and the alternatives. So, I don't thing the
problem lies on the alternatives itself, but on the missing link in
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ that points to /etc/alternatives.

Here is the output of my machine, from which I gave you the info:
shuri at yakumovil:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin.so

There are 3 alternatives which provide `firefox-javaplugin.so'.
