Hello:
I'm changing over from Oracle Java to OpenJDK. I ripped out all traces of Java from the system regardless of vendor and started from scratch. I downloaded the latest OpenJDK tarball and put it in /opt/java/latest. Everything runs fine except for Java content in Firefox.
I also went to http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/ ... 1.8/linux/ to download icedtea so I can get the java plugin which Firefox can use.
After unpacking the zip, icedteaplugin.so is missing from icedtea-web-image/lib
Since the URL I posted above didn't work, what site does one go to get the icedteaplugin.so?
Please, no "run yum install..." replies. There are very good reasons why I'm setting this up manually.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Please, no source installs. There are good reasons why we recommend using yum and packaged solutions. Like it works.Please, no "run yum install..." replies. There are very good reasons why I'm setting this up manually.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Having problems installing icedtea on CentOS 7
Installing via Yum doesn't work either. It puts stuff in /usr/share/icedtea-web/. The contents in that directory are the same as the contents of the zip one can download manually.
Where is the plugin to get java to work in Firefox?
