[NTLUG:Discuss] Java - Firefox Plugin

[Dennis Kaptain]

This works on MY installation of Fedora 8, Your mileage may vary -
If anyone can improve on this, please do. I'm always ready to learn a new trick or two.

#!/bin/bash

# this program creates a symbolic link for firefox to find the java plugin
# use this when you upgrade to a new version of firefox and java won't work

# user MUST be root
if [ `id -u` = 0 ]; then 
   ver=`rpm -q firefox | cut -d '-' -f 2`        # firefox version
   dir=/usr/lib/firefox-$ver/plugins             # firefox plugin path
   pluginPath=`locate ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so`  # java plugin path
   ln -s $pluginPath $dir/libjavaplugin_oji.so   # make the link
else
   echo Error: You MUST be root to run this command!
