Installing Java + Firefox plugin

[zephyrus17]

So, I'm running Arch64 with gnome. I've installed "jre" and "libxtst" like it's instructed me to do, but still no Firefox java plug in. And the ArchWiki isn't much help either..

What else do I have to install?

Will I have to remove jre?

For a java plugin for 64bit, you will have to do one of three things.

1. openjdk (not perfect, but works with most)
2. 32bit browser installed with all of the 32bit libraries
3. 32bit browser via chroot.

So, why not remove jre & follow the link(s)?

It worked for me.

It worked, partially. Some pictures won't show.

Openjdk6 and icedtea6 works perfectly for me: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/openjdk6/

Darn. Arch servers are down for the moment.
