First I installed the java part:
Code:
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre install sun-java6-plugin
Then I found that the plugin was not installed (visited [url]about:plugins[/url]). then I went to the plugins directory and created a symbolic link to the netscape7 java plugin that shiped with the packages I installed above.
Code:
cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
sudo ln --symbolic /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
sudo ln --symbolic /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
Boom! -- everything worked
