Can you run FreeNet from Iceape?


 
      
No - not from:

    Iceape
    Midori
    Epiphany
    Opera
    Iceweasel
    

And you get the same message from all of them? :-?
Yes

The point here is to determine if you already have the Java JRE installed 
and the output of "update-alternatives --config" you said before 
indicated that is currently installed.


  
You have to test it with Midori, the browser you are going to use to
launch Freenet.
  
  
      
I accept that.  I was only suggesting that the response from Iceape
provided a clue.
    

Yes. Two questions about this:

1/ What about the "about:plugins" in Iceape? Can you see the Sun's java 
JRE there?
I can see:

java.default_java_location_others;/usr/java
java.default_java_location_solaris;/usr/j2se
java.global_java_version_file;/etc/.java/versions
java.java_plugin_library_name;javaplugin_oji
java.private_java_version_file;~/.java/versions

And some more strings about _javascript_, but nothing on the sun-java6-* that I *believe* I have installed

2/ Can you run any java applet from Iceape? Go here and copy/paste the 
results:

I don't see the "pink rectangle" with any lines of text as one would expect from Method 1 on this page.  I guess that I can conclude that Iceape is not picking up the Java either, even though I do have the "enable Java" option ticked in Edit/ Preferences/ Advanced tab.

Are you sure Midori browser can work with java? As per this forum thread, 
it seems having no support :-?

Well, that would explain Midori and also render Midori useless as a dedicated FreeNet browser then.

Thanks
