How do i enable java 2 runtime?

my college website (blackboard) insists i need to run java 2 runtime for its system to work correctly for chat and other options but when running their browser check says i don't have it so i need to know how to enable it, if possible.

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).
*http://java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml
*http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-install-linux-136395.html
If Firefox doesn't find the Java plugin then you need to create a symlink to the JP2 (Next Generation) plugin (libnpjp2.so). 
Some examples:
ln -s /usr/local/java/jre1.6.0_20/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so libnpjp2.so
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so (java-1_6_0-sun-plugin)

How can I enable java applet plug-in and Web Start applications via terminal?

Since the last Java update to Snow Leopard, I have found that the system periodically disables the Java applet plug-in after a period of disuse. I know I can go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and just click to re-enable Java. But I want to write a script which will do this periodically for a couple hundred Mac users where I work.
My question is - how can I reenable the Java applet plug-in and web start applications via Terminal command? Is this possible? Is there a plist file that can be modified, etc.?
Bob Reed

It is my understanding that Apple's most recent Java update automatically disables Java after a certain period of time that it hasn't been used. We don't want users to have to keep re-enabling it. So we wanted to find a way to do this via script either run by a Casper JSS server or stored locally on each workstation. With the guidance provided by Mark Jalbert above and some text from a script written by Rich Trouton, I was able to make a script (with some minor changes) and a launch agent to re-run the script upon login. So the preference is always enabled.
For your reference, the script content is:
#!/bin/sh
# DYNAMICALLY SET THE UUID FOR THE BYHOST FILE NAMING
if [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` == "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c51-62 | awk {'print tolower()'}`
elif [[ `ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50` != "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then
MAC_UUID=`ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-62`
fi
# Set the the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications" setting in the Java Preferences for the current user.

The launch agent plist content is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 </array>

I hope this is helpful to anyone wishing to keep the Java web plugin enabled.

How can i enable java in Safari 7.0.4

There is one web-site I like that uses Java for their webcam. I want to enable Java just for that site. How can I do it? I've gone to Safari Prefs--->Security and enabled Java to run on that site in unsafe mode (always allow) on other websites its blocked. But it still won't run.

Thanks for the reply Carolyn, but the "Allow Plug-ins" is selected. I even have gone to the Java control panel in System Prefs and listed the web-site on Java's exception list. It still won't run, telling me my security settings are preventing it from running. I know I'm missing something, I'm just not sure what.

How do I enable java for my android mobile.

I am getting an error "enable java for your browser". how do I do that as I am unable to see the preferences tab anywhere.

Oracle doe not make the Java plug-in for Android due to Oracle's lawsuit against Google which of course is the developer of Android. Note that Java and JavaScript are two different things in case the message actually said JavaScript which should be enabled.

How do I enable Java after SW Update disabled it for Flashback?

I think I need it to play Yahoo games. I went to Safari Preferences and checked Enable Java. (Enable JavaScript was already checked.) But when I click on a Yahoo game, the page loads, yet the game doesn’t appear. I thought I could just enable Java when I wanted to play, then disable it when I wasn't. Obviously this isn’t urgent, but if there’s an easy and safe way to play, I’d like to know.

And for Browsers, reverse these steps...
Disable Java in your Browser settings, not JavaScript.

I am trying to print a coupon from EAS (protein products) and they tell me that my version is not compatible.
I actually have the latest versio of Java, but EAS is using the previous version.
I also get the message that I need to Enable Java.
I am using Mozilla Firefox and can't find where to do that.
Also, I can't even find the previous version to download.

How do I enable Java Virtual Machine (JVM)? I upgraded yesterday and somehow it became disabled.

I upgraded to newest version yesterday and when I went to a government site today, it tells me I have no access until I enable Java Virtual Machine (JVM). How do I do this??? (I did access this site by using Internet Explorer - but I much prefer Firefox)

If you updated from a Firefox version prior to Firefox 3.6, the version of Java that you have installed is not being recognized. Firefox 3.6 and later requires Java 1.6.0.10 or higher; you have Java 1.6.0.05
'''''Other Issues''''': ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~
'''Update Java''': your ver. 1.6.0.~~red:05~~; current ver. 1.6.0.20 (important security update 04-15-2010)
(~~red:Firefox 3.6 and above requires Java 1.6.0.10 or higher~~; see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Java-related+issues#Java_does_not_work_in_Firefox_3_6 )
''(Windows users: Do the manual update; very easy.)''
~~red:Check your version here~~: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
See: '''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Java+plugin+with+Firefox#Updates Updating Java]'''
Do the update with Firefox closed.
'''NOTE:''' Java version 1.6.0.21 has been released. It is mainly an update for developers of Java applications and most users do not need to be concerned about downloading version 1.6.0.21. '''''At this time''''', the update option in existing installations of Java 1.6.0.20 are not updating to version 1.6.0.21; '''''at this time''''', it must be manually downloaded and installed. According to the Java release notes:
''"'''Bug Fixes'''''
''Java SE 6 Update 21 does not contain any additional fixes for security vulnerabilities to its previous release, Java SE 6 Update 20. Users who have Java SE 6 Update 20 have the latest security fixes and do not need to upgrade to this release to be current on security fixes."''

How to always enable Java 6 with Firefox 18

I implemented Firefox 15 with Java 1.6.0.35-b10 to be used with a particular Vendor's website. The site has no internet except for accessing this vendor's website. Several weeks ago Firefox 15 updated itself to Firefox 18 and blocklisted Java 6. I was able to unblock it, but now each time the users log into the vendor's website, Firefox prompts the user to activate Java 6. My users are nagging me to turn this activate screen off but i cannot figure out how to permanently activate Java 6 on each of these machines. The vendor is not willing to upgrade to Java 7. I have tested Java 7 with the vendor's site and of course it doesn't load. Consequently, I cannot get this machine to roll back to Java 6. Once they activate Java 6 they can use the website. I could switch back to IE8 and use Java 6 with no problem, except that IE8 has a flaw in it. I have read that I cannot install IE9 on Windows XP pro, so I am stuck with Firefox. Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 18, and Java 6.

Hi there,
This article walks you through how to enable Java again -- note that we don't recommend this due to the many security risks (this week new threats were revealed again): [[How to use Java if it's been blocked]]

Firefox 3.6.1 32 bit on an Opteron (x86_64) machine running Linux CentOS 5.2, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP.
I tried also the 64-bit Firefox RPM but the same problem happens.
