I installed the blackdown 64 bit j2re package as described here:
http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=138909#post138909
The AMD64 Sun versions do not seem to have plugins yet.
However, when I go to the the menus along the top of this site http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/ e.g. "JAVA Applets" Firefox crashes.
I have the depreciated xorg libs installed as mentioned in the 1st link above.
Can other AMD64 users access this site with a x86_64 type java plugin installed without crashing FF?

Hi Gene, Yes, I see the same behavior as you. I just tried installing just the plugin and Firefox does crash when trying to view that website. I created a /usr/lib64/java-plugin/ directory, copied the file there, and linked from /usr/lib64/firefox-1.0/plugins/ I also tried adding the directory where I unpacked the files in the path (~/download/java64/j2re1.4.2/bin), but that did not help. Here is the output of running firefox and then navigating to the above website: $ firefox --verbose INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2 < System error?:: No such file or directory
** (Gecko:3990): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 16
** (Gecko:3990): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 14 INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from child process System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable
I also have the deprecated libs packages installed.
Running "java_vm" by itself gives an interesting result: $ java_vm java_vm process: could not find Java VM symbols
I think I'll go back to 32-bit firefox for now.

May not help. I started another thread recently complaining that this exact same site crashed the Sun Java 1.4.2_06 plugin in FF on ia32.
The solution was to move to the Sun Java 1.5.0_01 plugin. You might want to try that before abandoning x86_64 entirely.

That's where I found the site. Thanks.

But, the way I read it, the release notes for AMD64 Sun Jave 1.5 RE and DE both say they don't yet have plugins yet. (???) When I expanded the 1.5 runtime there was no "plugin" directory. I did not try the JDE but maybe I should look to see if it does or does not supply plugins.
