Craig:
I thought there was supposed to be some software to make that work.
Somebody else here mentioned it a couple of days ago.
Just curious,
Well I have F7 and F7-64bit and F8 on this computer and after a day
of gaining information and finding things I have Java running on F7 and
F8 both 32 bit machines. Another expert said you have to compile a new
Firefox for a 64 bit system with special words to make sure the new one
is 32 bit. It *SHould* work then on 64 bit system.

you are talking apples and I am talking oranges
I clearly stated running as a plugin within Firefox
Please pay attention.

If I knew how bad this was going to be I would never have started
trying to make Java work. It is just TOO HARD!

and from what I gather, you had no reason to do so, your needs
undoubtedly would have been met with java-compat version automatically
included in Fedora.
let's see if you actually got it to work...what do you get when you type
(as root)
alternatives --config java
?
Craig
[root@k5di ~]# alternatives --config java
There is 1 program that provides 'java'.
Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:
I seem to have one.
And this is on F7. The F8 may not be right but the test web page worked....

for the record...
jre-1.5.0-gcj is the open source java, not Sun's java

All that be what it may. I checked my F8 and changed from the one
that was there I gather from the start or maybe a yum product. But I
changed to the one I installed and will see how that works. Here is what
I did on F8:
[karl@k5di ~]$ su -

[root@k5di ~]# alternatives --config java
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command

2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
[root@k5di ~]#
The Java web page checker didn't like the icedtea version for some reason.
