With all available jdk/jre's, it is not possible to get javaplugin working in mozilla. Blackdown,ibm and sun java's give same/similar unresolved externals. Example: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/ibm-jre-1.3.1/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/ibm-jre-1.3.1/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/ibm-jre-1.3.1/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/ibm-jre-1.3.1/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID] - Gentoo Base System version 1.4.2.8 - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030125 - build options: -athlon-tbrd -O3 -pipe - ibm-jdk/jre (portage V) 1.3.1-r1
is mozilla based on gtk1.2 or gtk2? you could compile sun's j2sdk (which is in portage tree); that will give you working java plugin, at least in the second case (although i had to link plugin libraries manually).
all i know is: * x11-libs/gtk+ Latest version available: 2.2.0 Latest version installed: 2.2.0 maybe this is bug for doc project to update java howto?
well i suppose you use gtk1.2 based mozilla, since latest build require gtk2 to be forced, and you would remember that ;) afair in that case blackdown's and sun's java plugins worked fine, but this also might be gcc related issue (mozilla being compiled with gcc-3.2.x and java vm with gcc 2.95...) you can try these: - are you sure you've updated your environment (java-config) afrer emerging blackdown/sun jre/jdk? - try to copy/link plugin libraries manually directly to mozilla plugin directory (/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins or sth like this). - if above fail, emerge sun-j2sdk, that will compile java vm on your box with latest gcc and plugins will work (checked). regards, artb.
that's interesting... i can't get this to work at all. before i had just tried using the binary distributions of the jdk (sun-jdk, blackdown-jdk, etc.). i just read this bug here, and tried emerging sun-j2sdk. compiled just fine, used java-config to set the j2sdk, ran env-update, sourced /etc/profile, verified the path was correct, and linked the plugin to my plugins directory, but no go: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: _ZN16nsServiceManager23GetGlobalServiceManagerEPP17nsIServiceManager] now the difference is that i'm running a copy of mozilla that i compiled myself from mozilla CVS - the date i have on it is feb 1st. could this have something to do with it?
argh - sorry about the wrapping - let's try again... that's interesting... i can't get this to work at all. before i had just tried using the binary distributions of the jdk (sun-jdk, blackdown-jdk, etc.). i just read this bug here, and tried emerging sun-j2sdk. compiled just fine, used java-config to set the j2sdk, ran env-update, sourced /etc/profile, verified the path was correct, and linked the plugin to my plugins directory, but no go: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/sun-j2sdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: _ZN16nsServiceManager23GetGlobalServiceManagerEPP17nsIServiceManager] now the difference is that i'm running a copy of mozilla that i compiled myself from mozilla CVS - the date i have on it is feb 1st. could this have something to do with it?
very odd - i recompiled mozilla (from cvs, after updating), and now the sun-j2sdk version of the java plugin loads fine. i didn't recompile it or anything, all i did was update to a newer mozilla.
This plugin worked with Gentoo 1.2; as soon as I rebootstrapped with GCC3 and used the 1.4 profile (and rebuild all packages) I encountered this bug. I notice that the ebuild for mozilla enables ABI compatibility with older compiler versions, but this doesn't seem to have had any effect. Both sun and blackdown JDK's fail as per the previous posters. Hard to pin this down. Could it be GCC? GLIBC 2.3.1? ANy thoughts?
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116444 Should add this, too. The discussion on this bug indicates it's an issue relating to GCC3.
Note, in particular, comment 92 in that bug: The new java plugin from blackdown works with gcc-3.2. Download from http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html (not all mirrors have it yet, though) They ship two builds; one for gcc 3.2 and one for gcc-2.95. The gcc-2.95 build will stop being made at some point in the future, apparently.
With regard to that, I discovered this in the blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 ebuild: if [ "`gcc-major-version`" -eq "3" -a "`gcc-minor-version`" -ge "2" ] ; then SRC_URI="x86? ( ${J_URI}/i386/${JREV}/j2sdk-${PV}-${JREV}-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin )" else SRC_URI="x86? ( ${J_URI}/i386/${JREV}/j2sdk-${PV}-${JREV}-linux-i586-gcc2.95.bin )" And so on, for each supported architecture. If a few people would test this out (use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" to emerge it) and report on its success that would be great - it worked on my system, but multiple success reports would be better.
Blackdown jdk 1.4.1 is working on mozilla 1.2.1 all compiled with gcc 3.2.2
i have to add a "works for me too" mozilla-1.2.1-r5 blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 java-config-0.2.7 gcc-config-1.3.1 gcc-3.2.2 and i even got into hushmail with a slight modification (see bug #16859)
*** Bug 12805 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
im using blackdown-jdk 1.4.1 with moz 1.3 and galeon 1.2.9 working great havent had a problem with java at all
Ok.. Had this working also with blackdown 1.4 and mo1.3 I gues this one has been fixed
This isn't fixed. If it were, blackdown JDK and JRE 1.4.1 would be marked stable. Would a maintainer please mark them stable? They've been in use for a long time with no showstoppers. This is an important component of a functional system.
Sorry (: Didnt actually know when one is allowed to set something as solved. I started it so i tought im the one setting it to "solved" Sorry about the inconvenience.
