Itweb-settings configuration file references two possible paths from the HOME directory for the deployment.properties Sudo update-alternatives -configure itweb-settings Then configure itweb-settings as you require to use each JVM Sudo update-alternatives -install itweb-settings Sudo update-alternatives -install mozilla-plugins.so

If this works for jdk8 then update-alternatives for each JVM Sudo update-alternatives -display itweb-settings

confirm the contents of the config file references the correct JVMĬonfirm the value of symlink itweb-settings to the correct configuration file per JVM.

usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64Īnd /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin

confirm the executable and config files are located within the openJDK8 copy folder.

Since, you have already installed IcedTea-plugin8 you need to confirm the configuration then attempt to select the different JVMs as you required. However, the IcedTea-plugin7 does not place a configuration or executable within the copy folder of java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/ which could explain the selection of the default / higher priority jdk7 as defined by the symlink mozilla-javaplugin.so.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/itweb-settingsĪnd an executable IcedTeaPlugin.so at location /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64 referenced by link mozilla-javaplugin.so.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/itweb-settings.

The symlink itweb-settings is configured to reference alternatives for a configuration file created in each JVM copy folder

java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 (installed openJDK).

SymLinks are then created to these folders for the installed jdk and a default jdk1.7 - in the case that openjdk8 was installed. A possible explanation is the way IcedTea configures itself by creating directories in /usr/lib/jvm with names prefixed by java-openjdk even if these JVMs are not installed on the machine.

On startup, Firefox references the java plugin file located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, this file could be named libjavaplugin.so or mozilla-javaplugin.soĬurrently, the IcedTea install from Ubuntu Software Center is IcedTea-plugin7 then its configuration results in the incorrect JVM version reported by FireFox about:plugins and from the Oracle browser test - despite a prior OpenJDK8 installation. I think the question should be modify to: why IcedTeaPlugin.so in icedtea-8-plugin report java 1.6.0_50 in Firefox? Since I only have 1 version jvm installed in my system now. I do see firefox using the correct IcedTeaPlugin.so in the about:plugins. The itweb-settings is also pointed to correct version. The mozilla-plugins.so points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so. I confirmed all the executable and configs are located in /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/. The only thing I install is openjdk-8-jre and icedtea-8-plugin. Now I removed all the openjdk-* packages in my system. Does anyone have idea on how firefox discovery the java version on my laptop? The oracle java version verify page can correctly show my java version is 1.8.0_45-internal.

The plugin path is correctly pointed to Path: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so However, the about:plugins shows that my java version is application/x-java-bean jpi-version=1.6.0_50. I installed the icedtea-8-plugin then removed the icedtea-7-plugin. How can I see my latest java in the browser plugin? I can see my newest java version through the oracle java version verify page. I already tried to Re-initializing the plugins database, but it doesn't work. But I don't know why my firefox always shows that my latest java version isĪpplication/x-java-bean jpi-version=1.7.0_50
