[SOLVED] Firefox and Java

[leetuckert]

Since upgrading to 11.04 with a clean install of Kubuntu, I cannot use my WebEx account because Java is not installed as a plug in. aboutlugins in Firefox reveals one enabled plug in: Skype. Get and Remove Software - System Settings reports the following as installed:
OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime
OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start
ca-certificates-java
java-common
java-wrappers
javahelp2
....
I have Google'd this issue and have tried three different suggestions to get this resolved. All three have involved adding a repository and then doing an apt-get update. All three continue to return the same complaint:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-co...source/Sources 404 Not Found

Any ideas, anyone?

Oh, and this error as well:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-co...amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

Re: Firefox and Java

If you want to use the OpenJDK then install the icedtea-plugin to get the FF Java Plugin

If you want to use the Sun JDK the steps are a little different.

Re: Firefox and Java

I debated whether this should go in post-installation or software support; thus, my second post.
