Blackdown-Java + MozillaFirebird

  • Quote

Post by McFly0 » Mon Sep 08, 2003 9:20 am

I have installed Firebird 0.61 and blackdown-jdk-1.4.1
about:plugins returns supporting of java.
But if i visit a page with applets, i get the default plugin download window.

i guess there's a problem with the MIME-Types, because in the about:plugins Window
there are listed MIME-Types like
application/x-java-applet Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.4 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1 Java Yes
application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.1_01 Java Yes

But the Plugin download window says:

This Page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) ...

Is there a way to rename the mime-types or what can i do?

PS: i don't want to download the sun-java too!

if you start Firebird in a console.. is there any output? my box just crashed when i visited a page with java applets... although the plugins page said that java would work... then i changed to sun's java (yes i've read your post closely ;P) and everything worked fine...
on my box it said that the java_vm had crashed when i tried to load e.g. www.terratec.de

so... sorry there seems to be a problem with the blackdown java_vm dunno why :?

I started Firebird from the console and visited the terratec-page, but there was no negative outpu on my xterm.

So I'm quite sure, the problem is the wrong MIME-Type. :(

hmm... i've checked my about:plugins page and in one line it says:

Code: Select all

MIME-Type                        Description    Enabled
application/x-java-vm            Java           Yes
Do you have this line? If not the plugin doesn't find your java-vm... maybe it's not in your PATH... :?

I have no entry like yours in my Pluginlist.
My java-relevant environment looks like this:

Code: Select all

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/bin:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/home/gerhard/bin:/home/gerhard/bin
JAVA_HOME=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1
JAVAC=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/bin/javac
JDK_HOME=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1
CLASSPATH=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/rt.jar:.
Does it differ to yours?

Yeah - Now it rocks :lol:

I reemerged the MozillaFirebird with the USE-Flag "+java" - thats it.

Thx to J.M.I.T. for helping

If there is anyone else that might be having this problem, and re-emerging Firebird isn't doing the trick (as was my situation), uninstall both firebird and your jdk, then reinstall them both. I did Firebird first on the reinstall, but I doubt it matters.

Java never worked for me.....decided to do the "wipe out blackdown/firebird and remerge".

When I did 'emerge -p unmerge blackdown-jdk' I found it never removed version 1.3.1 when it upgraded to 1.4.1....not sure why. When I started Firebird from the console, it would complain about a missing JRE kit from 1.3.1. I also had to manually remove the 'blackdown-jdk-1.3.1' and 'blackdown-jre-1.4.1' directories...remnants remained behind.

I guess we'll see what happens in 5 hours after it all recompiles :D

Yup. Works now. unmerge blackdown-jdk and mozilla-firebird, then rebuild mozilla-firebird (it will install blackdown-jdk automatically).

Now...why does flash keep locking up mozilla/firebird? :roll:

Nope. Only errors were from the java stuff which was taken care of.
