Native 64bit Java plugin for Firefox, on Ubuntu.

Now there are no more reasons not to install 64bit Ubuntu. First is was Adobe with their native 64 bit Flash plug-in and now Sun has released a native 64 bit Java plug-in.

To install the 64 bit java plugin on Intrepid 8.10:

  1. Download the bin file here
  2. cd /opt
  3. sudo sh jre-6u12-ea-bin-b03-linux-amd64-22_dec_2008.bin
  4. cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
  5. sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_12/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
  6. Restart Firefox

Done!

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
