Download java JRE onto Linux

I want to be able to assign background and font colors to my work on Libre Calc. When i attempt to do so a popup says that i need to download a Java runtime enviorment to do this function.
i search Java and find a download for Ubuntu which says "download with any method you want".
I click on download and FF takes me to another window that says "choose the method of download".
The trouble is I'm new to Firefox and don't know which method or how to proceed to download JRE.

You should be able to download the RPM installer from the Oracle website and install this version with the package installer assuming that this can be done on Ubuntu (I'm not familiar with Ubuntu).

Download Java JRE problem

This is what I receive from a webpage:
Important Notice
You are required to install/enable Java JRE for processing PPS online payment.
Please press "Download Java JRE" button to install/enable Java JRE
Please press "Reload" button after installed the Java JRE successfully.
Then I went to sun's webpage and it told me to download it by referring to Mac's software update. I tried but then there was no such update found. I tried reloading the webpage, opened it again with Chrome, firefox, manually clicking open the Jar Launcher and Java Web Start, all couldnt work. I need to enter that website to do some payment. Could anyone please help? Thank you.

I ran the software update process already and there was nothing about java for me to update. And that webpage is still asking me for a JAVA JRE installed. Would it be that Safari could not recognise the java in my os?

Downloading Java 6 on Linux command line with wget

Hello,
I'm trying to download Java 6 on the Linux command line, because my GUI interface is not working.
So I'm using the Linux wget command for this.
I tried the following
wget -r -O jdk.bin http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/jdk-6u4-linux-i586.bin?BundledLineItemUUID=_09IBe.lhyoAAAEYq_YMXRqM&OrderID=gRNIBe.l1jQAAAEYoPYMXRqM&ProductID=48tIBe.phvMAAAEWdt1NOLEE&FileName=/jdk-6u4-linux-i586.binWhen I try the above wget command, I get only html files, javascript file, but I don't get the actual .bin download file.
I got the above download URL from here:
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter;pgid=m5sy.hOjk2-x8Y;sid=UKAQRO-lOXkQRagRtUZYQQANrvJ_UCLgBULfhfK7tUrq7g==
I can't get the file through FTP because and FTP download option is not available.
Any help is appreciated.

I transferred it over. First i downloaded it on windows and then installed winscp on windows and proftpd on ubuntu and then transferred it from windows to linux.
I think it would be impossible for anyone using a console browser such as Lynx to download the file, because, html buttons are involved. If it was all just links then it would have been possible.
But thanks for your reply.
I wish the make the Java download Lynx (text browser) friendly.

Java JRE 1.6.0_13 and Java JRE 1.6 update 7.0

For webstart apps., the procedure is along the lines of..
- Install the other JRE.
- Open the [Java Control Panel|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/apps/player.jnlp]
- In Win/Linux that will open showing the Java Cache Viewer, close it and..
- Navigate to the Java tab
- View the Java Application Runtime Settings
- Find or Add the other JRE as needed.
For applets, do the same, but from the Java Applets Runtime Settings, View button.

How does Java JRE impact Microsoft JVM

Supposing I download the latest Java JRE onto a PC, will it impact the programs that are currently using the Microsoft JVM ?

Check regedit with the oldvalueThanks -- I tried that. The old value is not in the registry, and all of the registry settings for java.home point to the correct directory. The java.home value that ends up inside the plugin must be determined some other way (at least in 1.4.2).
If anyone out there knows where it comes from, please let me know!
Thanks.

Downloading java for linux

I have red hat linux v7.0. I want to download jdk1.3 for linux. There are 2 downloads for it.
1.RedHat RPM shell script
2.GNUZIP Tar shell script
I tried to download RedHat RPM shell script ,but it failed.
Can I use GNUZIP Tar shell script for redhat linux.

Yes, you can use the tar.gz shellscript, no problem. It's maybe even easier than the rpm.
After making the package runnable (the same with the RPM, if that was your problem: e.g. chmod 750 j2se-{version}.tar.gz.sh) and run it
(./j2se-{version}.tar.gz,sh), where you will be asked to agree to the SUN Java licence, the shell-script will create a .tar.gz in the directory. Then simply uncompress it (gunzip filename.tar.gz) and unpack it (tar xf filename.tar, you can also make uncompression and unpacking in one way, see man tar). You can unpack it directly to the right dir, or somewhere else, or in the current dir and then move it where you want it. Adding the PATH, if preffered, and it should work.
You can also take a look to
http://www.blackdown.org
for special Linux JDK's. IBM is also providing JDK's (or j2se's as now called) for Linux, which are often benchmarked to be the fastest on Linux (e.g. the ibm-jdk-1.1.8 was mentioned the prefered one in the Readme in apache jserv and other Java - Tools).
Why does the download of the RPM failed ? Linux also has Download Manager (e.g. caitoo), or you give the URL to the JDK to wget (wget -c can continue the DL later on, if it breaks). It is known that Netscape sometimes corrupt Files, even on Win.

HT1338 I am trying to download java onto my macbook pro, but for some reason this function isn't recognizing the internet. The error message insists that I am not connected but I am. I have tried this through both safari and firefox

Sorry I didn't realize the above was just a subject line.
I have been trying to download java for my macbook pro, but for some reason the function is not recognizing the internet. I am on and have checked several times .... I have checked through both safari and firefox but to no avail. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Not really a reply just some added info:
This is the error message I get saying the internet is not on, but clearly as I can send this message it has to be:
To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.
I am connected through Wi-fi if that makes a difference.

Mozilla 1.4.2 and Java Applets on Linux

Hello,
Does anyone have clue as to why the newest version of java does not work on Mozilla -1.4.2 on linux.
I went to java.com and downloaded the jre. Followed all the setup instructions TWICE. Still no java. I look in the help/plugins and see the flash plugins are working great but no java. It's enabled in the advanced preferences and I have the .so file in the plugins directory. Anybody have a clue???
Thanks for any help in advance,
-Wiley

[root@localhost mozilla]# ./mozilla
You're using the 'root' account to do normal work?????-------------------------------------------
Yes I did do that when I su root to create a symbolic link. Maybe I strayed and installed something as root. That should not have corrupted my system.
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.soThis was something I tried as last ditch efforts. THIS is the link that is created when in version 1.7 of mozilla you go to a page that has an applet. It gives you a download window that askes if you want to download the plugin. I'm using the LATEST version of java and this link does not exist obviously.
Now I've given up on the "pop-up/ install applet plugin becuase it does not work." THIS IS THE LINK CREATED BY THE "INSTALL PLUGIN WINDOW in version mozilla 1.7 when you hit an applet page".... which I have removed it all becuase its worthless too.
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Also - The directions given on LINUX INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS on the http://www.java.com download page are worthless.
I've gone in as a normal user not root and nothing works.
this is where my link is....
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
this is where it points to....
<java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
this is how it was created in the mozilla plugins directory
ln -s <java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
If you look at the installation instructions again, I have followed them to a T.
these are the errors associated with the worthless"Download Plugin option" which has been removed and I'm back to creating the symlink manually again which does not work.
libXext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This sounds like you may be missing some important software libraries or that they are too old. Which >distro are you using?
If you have only recently installed them you may need to run "ldconfig" so that the runtimelinker can find >them. It should NOT be this big of a headache when I recently installed redhat enterprise 3 workstation - then I updated the system with the "updates" option for redhat that downloads all recent and available updates.
installed the jre - then I tried to see an applet in mozilla. Thats it.
IT DOES NOT WORK. If it works for someone out there with the latest JRE and mozilla-1.4.2 or 1.7 thats great but I can't seem to figure why I can't get it to work........
thanks,
-Wiley

Mozilla 1.4.2 and Java Applets on Linux Red Hat

Which Java version are you trying to install? The version of Mozilla you use doesn't matter, although I think 1.6 is quite a bit faster than 1.4. I haven't bothered to upgrade to 1.7, I'll upgrade to 1.8 when it's released ...
The j2sdk comes with several libjavaplugin_oji.so files for different configurations. To which one does the link in the plugins dir point?
With 1.4.2 the link must be to <java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
With 1.5.0 beta 2 <java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Installing Java stuido on linux...

Hi;
I try to install java studio enterprise 8.1 to my ubuntu. The problem is thatI get this error: "No compatible Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) was found on this system." But I have downloaded ands installed "jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin" which is Java runtime environment 6. So where is the problem how can solve this problem?

- Please take a look at:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/FaqSuitableJvmNotFound
jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin is the runtime. You will need to download and install the full JDK from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp .
JDK = Java Development Kit , used for developing java programs.
JRE = Java Runtime Environment, a subset of JDK, used for executing java programs. The end user machines will need only JRE installations but developers will need to install JDK.
- Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 is built on top of NetBeans 5.0. I would like to suggest that you consider using the latest NetBeans 5.5.1 (oe even latest milestone build of NetBeans 6.0) instead of JSE8.1. NetBeans 5.5.1 has add-on packs that support all the features of JSE8.1 (except portletbuilder).
http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index.php
There are installer bundles available which include both NetBeans and JDK.
Docs : http://www.netbeans.org/kb/index.html
NetBeans is an opensource project and the community portal provides access to several community resources.

Automatic download/install JRE via JNLP

Under Java Web Start Reference (http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/developers.html)
"A MAIN feature of the ... JNLP... is the ability to automatically download and install JREs onto the user's machine".
Many have taken this to mean "if the client doesn't have the necessary JRE it will be installed". Well, if the client doesn't have ANY JRE isn't that the same thing as not having the necessary JRE installed? Apparently not. It appears that it is similar to the old joke: How to be a millionaire: 1) First, get a million dollars. The documentation might be enhanced if this chicken/egg situation were mentioned. It seems that we have to write scripts, etc to either point to a JRE download site or somehow manage the install ourselves. I started to look into this but then realized YOU HAVE TO HAVE ADMIN RIGHTS to install the JRE on the client.
This may all be self-evident to those who have been through this but it's a bitter lesson. If what I have written is not true would someone set me straight and tell me how to get around the admin rights problem? Oh, and does the admin rights problem persist if the the client has a JRE but JNLP needs to download/install a different version? This may be the mortal blow to three months' effort at getting J2EE/J2SE in the door at my company: all we want is to download and run a small Java app for the user to use regardless of which machine he or she is using.

To change the Registry, Windows requires admin rights. This may (or may not be something you can achieve with Secondary Logon Rights - see http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=225035 ) There is also a lot of information about this on the web, you should do some further research.
To run applets and browser related programs requires that Java install the JRE, which uses Browser Helper Objects (BHO's) and that involves Registry entries.
However, if you only need to run Java programs from the commandline, then the possibility exists to install the Java JDK without a public JRE. That could be done by a simple copy of the appropriate directory(s). This will give you a private JRE inside the JDK, and doesn't make any Registry entries. (Of course, then applets can't be run.) That JRE can then be accessed using a full path to the java.exe executable. (I don't know whether using Sun's downloaded installer will do this - it may still require admin privileges.)
You're in an area where you'll probably have to do some experimentation. I would address the JNLP questions to the Java Web Start forum, there are some good people that monitor that forum.

How to uninstall JRE from LINUX OS

hi,
I want to uninstall JRE old version from Linux OS.
I go to add/remove panel, but there is no option uninstall the JRE from LINUX OS.(i expect as Like windows)
In user manual from SUN for JRE also doesnot have how to uninstall JRE.
Any idea abt it.
Also, i want to put the JRE in CD,and from CD i want to install that JRE using linux shell script. is it possible.
If any one know, pls tell me.
thank you.

This is from the following link: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000011600.xml#jre
II. JRE Uninstallation
There are two ways to uninstall the JRE. Please use the method that you used when you installed the JRE. For example, if you used RPM to install the JRE, then use the RPM uninstallation method.
RPM uninstallation
Note: If you have RPM on your Linux box, you should first find out if Java is already installed using RPM. If Java is not installed using RPM, you should skip reading.
Open Terminal Window
Login as the super user
Try to find jre package by typing: rpm -qa
If RPM reports a package similar to jre-<version>-fcs, then Java is installed with RPM.
Note: Normally, you do not need to uninstall JRE with RPM, because RPM is able to uninstall the old JRE when installing a new version! You may skip reading, unless you want to remove JRE permanently.
To uninstall the JRE, type: rpm -e jre-<version>-fcs
Self-extracting file uninstallation
Find out if Java is installed in some folder. Common locations are /usr/java/jre_<version> or /opt/jre_nb/jre_<version>/bin/java/
When you have located the folder, you may delete folder.
Warning: You should be certain that Java is not already installed using RPM before removing the folder.
Type: rm -r name. For example: rm -r jre1.5.0

JRE for Linux ARM architecture plus browser plugin

Installing TightVNC for Non-Linux Users
After Oracle VM Manager is installed, install the TightVNC-Java applet for non-Linux users to access virtual machines. Download the latest version from: http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/.
To set up the TightVNC-Java applet:
Install it using the command:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-version.noarch.rpm
version refers to the version of the TightVNC-Java applet. For example:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-1.3.9-3.noarch.rpm
This should work out for you, try it in INternet explorer first, then you will know if it worked.
Make sure u restart after installation of the RPM
cheers
let moi know how u get on

Problems downloading java in firefox

My new forms install 11.1.1.4 will not work in firefox 3.6.16 . It wants to download jre 6.12:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u12/index.html
However the download is immediately cancelled. If I tell it to resume it, it looks like it was downloaded but it is not there.
This is a problem I've had in recent times downloading anything from oracle and not just java There's something wrong with firefox vs oracle's web site. Sometimes you can use firefox sometimes you can't.
Anyway I got 6u24 installed but the test form does not recognize it because it is not 6.12. So this has got to be an faq how to
change the dependence on 6u12 to 6u24 (or better whatever the current version of java would be). I'm sorry to ask such a dumb
newbie question but if anyone knows how to change it I'd really appreciate it.
this does not work with firefox with 6u24, that's all I know. (the test form does work with chrome and with IE 8. BTW I found that if
you have this problem downloading any java with firefox, it is easier to download it with chrome. I see that chrome is very cognizant of
jre versions and there's a lot of confirming things on sun's website. So you can download and install java via chrome if the other avenues
are not working. (I'm getting a real java headache now. I think I'll work on something else :-)

Oh a simple fix. You merely have to find the formsweb.cfg file which in 11.1.1.4 is something like:
c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\forms\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg
change these 3 items to as follows:
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0024-ABCDEFFEDCBA
jpi_codebase=/forms/java/jre-6u24-windows-i586.exe#Version=1,6,0,24
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_24
you could also change the download so they are not downloading the wrong thing:
jpi_download_page=https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-6u24-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer
I probably missed a few.
(But does this mean that every time there is another version of java I'm going to have to change this file? Actually I though mozilla was
going to run the latest version of java if you specified one that was earlier. There's just no telling what that program is going to do.
