Just in case the message I get when trying to load the plugin:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so:
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
Notice I get the same thing when loading the non-free flash plugin,
but that plugin ultimately gets loaded since it's supported by
nspluginwrapper while the ia32-sun-java6 one apparently isn't:
% nspluginwrapper -i
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
nspluginwrapper:
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
is not a valid NPAPI plugin
So the question is whether in reality the only way to get
ia32-sun-java6 working is to get a ia32 browser, :(... Or there's a
way to get it working under amd64 iceweasel/iceape...
Thanks,
