I don't think that nspluginwrapper needs to be removed anymore. I have both icedtea and Sun's Java installed and they both work as runtime, compiler and plugin. I posted the procedure to my website; http://www.knutejohnson/sun-java-on-F8.html I have not tried this with x86_64 only x86. Here are the steps for those without browsers :-). How to get Sun's Java running on Fedora 8 1)Download the Sun Java Linux RPM from java.sun.com and install it. 2)Make sure that you have version 1.7+ of the jpackage utilities installed, then download and install the JPackage sun-compat RPM (this handles your alternatives) from jpackage.org java-1.6.0-sun-compat-1.6.0.03-1jpp.i586.rpm 2)Fix the Xinerama bug with sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so 3)Install a link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped to the java plugin link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, that link should have been installed when you installed the sun-compat RPM above cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 4)Download and install compat-libstdc++-33 5)Select the Java version you want with the alternatives program You will probably see two Java plugins if you check your browser with about:plugins. It seems to work fine. Use the alternatives program to select the appropriate Java installation. -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...
