Instalasi Java Plug-in pada Firefox di IGOS Nusantara 3

Instalasi ini dibagi menjadi 2 tahap besar. Pertama adalah instalasi JAVA itu sendiri. Dan kedua memasukkan plugins JAVA ke dalam Firefox. Sebelum itu semua, terlebih dahulu download JRE dari http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. Pilih sistem operasi yang anda kehendaki. Dalam kesempatan ini, saya menggunakan Linux dan memilih paket Linux (selft-extracting file) sebesar 19 MB-an. Paket ini sudah saya download dan saya letakkan di ftp://dl1.batan.go.id/array1/VOL1/source_linux/ dengan nama "jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin".

Pre test plug-in JAVA anda :

http://javatester.org/version.html

I. Instalasi plugins JAVA

1. Masuk ke direktori dimana Java mau diinstall, katakan direktori /usr/java

-bash-3.2# cd /usr/java/

2. Salin file java yang anda dapat atau anda download ke direktori /usr/java. Kebetulan hasil download saya letakkan di /home/msmunir/Desktop dengan nama file "jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin"

-bash-3.2# cp /home/msmunir/Desktop/jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin .

3. Cek apakah file sudah tersalin di /usr/java

-bash-3.2# ls default jre1.6.0_04 jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin latest
-bash-3.2#

4. Ubah attribute file "jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin" ke a dan x

-bash-3.2# chmod a+x jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin

5. Jalankan file "jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin"

-bash-3.2# ./jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Done.
-bash-3.2#

6. Cek kembali hasil instalasi, khususnya direktori baru terkait dengan plugins JAVA ini.

-bash-3.2# ls -l
total 38540
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-07-26 18:49 default -> /usr/java/latest
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2008-07-26 18:49 jre1.6.0_04
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2008-12-06 05:55 jre1.6.0_11
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19815397 2008-11-10 18:42 jre-6u11-linux-i586.rpm
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 19565413 2008-12-06 05:53 jre-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-12-06 05:56 latest -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_11
-bash-3.2#

Terlihat ada direktori dimana plugins JAVA diletakkan, yaitu direktori "jre1.6.0_11"

7. Selanjutnya melakukan instalasi pada sisi Firefox.

II. Penambahan plugins JAVA ke dalam Firefox

1. Cari dimana kumpulan plugins diletakkan oleh Firefox

-bash-3.2# find / -name "plugins"

Ternyata ada di folder "/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.10/plugins/".
Untuk IGOS Nusantara 4, ada di folder "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/".
Kalau menggunakan IGN2010, ada di folder "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/".

2. Pindah ke folder "/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.10/plugins/".
Kalau menggunakan IGOS Nusantara 4, pindah ke folder "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/".
Kalau menggunakan IGN2010, juga pindah ke folder "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/".

-bash-3.2# cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.10/plugins/

untuk IGOS Nusantara 4 :
-bash-3.2# cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

3. Buat link simbolik plugins JAVA ke Firefox ini di folder plugins :

-bash-3.2# ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_11/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

4. Restart Firefox anda. Bila perlu restart komputer anda.

Post test plug-in JAVA anda :
http://javatester.org/enabled.html
http://javatester.org/version.html

Demikian beberapa trik untuk menginstalasi plugins JAVA pad Firefox. Akhir kata, selamat mencoba.
