"Managed" implies difficulty, which shouldn't be.
and installed. Currently, I see /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libjavaplugin.so, which is a link to /etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so . my ~/.mozilla/plugins directory does not contain any Java-related libraries or links. When I check Iceweasel's add-ons GUI, I see Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20, and when I do about:plugins I see Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20. In my preferences, Java is enabled. However: when I navigate to the Java test webpage (http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp) and push the big red "verify java version" button, it errors out after about 2 minutes. Is there some other configuration work which needs to be done to make Iceweasel fully Java-functional?
Might you have at one time installed a private Java, either into /usr/local or $HOME?
I get the same results here, and accessing a site that requires the plugin doesn't work. The page appears but the applet doesn't start for reasons unknown. A bug in the plug-in maybe??
Or plug-in conflicts?
Works perfectly for me in Sid on amd64 with sun-java6-plugin 6.20-dlj-4 and iceweasel 3.6.4~build2-1 (from experimental).
