[SOLVED] Java and Mozilla

[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
....

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

Re: Java and Mozilla

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
