Java not working in Lucid

[januutreurle]

I could not get JAVA working in Lucid. Installed OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime and OpenJDK Java 6 Webstart from Ubuntu Software Center but no Java showed up in Firefox's about:plugins.

After searching for hours in numerous forums (mostly dealing with sun-java) I got the idea that the web-browser plugin could be missing. And so I found the following solution:

Install icedtea6-plugin With Synaptic Package Manager (or Icedtea java plugin from Ubuntu Software Center).

Now JAVA is running smoothly.

Thought it is a good idea to share my findings with the community.

You are right. Unfortunately I searched for Java Firefox and missed somehow the Icedtea . Writing this .. Is there a way to add more labels (f.e. Firefox) to this thread?
