Jinitiator for ubuntu Linux


1. Download and Install jre version required to run Oracle Applications. This will be shown on the applet page (1.4.2_04 in the above screen shot)
2. Create a symbolic link in the Firefox plugins directory
(in my case it is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins) for java plugin you have just installed
( in my case it is /home/username/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so)
3. restart your browser

Just in case if you do not know how to create symbolic link follow these steps

1. open a terminal and goto forefox pluing directory (cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins)
2. then execute the following code

ln -s /plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

3. Do not forget the period ( .) at the end
