    [SOLVED] Java and Mozilla

    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
    ....

    Can someone point me in the right direction in order to get the Java plug-in installed and working so I can use WebEx?

    TIA

    Am I the only person having this problem? Every solution I've tried from Google'n has failed. I ultimately get the following error:
    W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-co...source/Sources 404 Not Found

    Ideas?

      [Resolved]

      I finally found an answer. Here is what I had to do:
      System Settings -> Software Management -> Settings -> Edit Origins -> Other Software

      Enter the following in the widget:
      deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner

      Close that; then, from a shell:
      sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

      Here is the link I found via Google: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/insta...104-natty.html
