Journal kriston's Journal: Installing Java for desktop use in /opt/java

Putting symlink in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins for libnpjp2.so -> /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

Trying to run a Java app from, say, http://kriston.net/games/, the Java runtime might still refuse to work on the principal of "security reasons." Feh.

Run this as the normal (non-root) user: /opt/java/jre/bin/jcontrol
Click on "Security" tab and select "Medium" which allows the Java plugin to run unsigned Java apps with a prompt.

That is all.
