Java Runtime Environment

Java Runtime Environment runs programs written in Java. Not to be confused with JavaScript.

Installation
Install the appropriate package, newer versions should be more secure:
Where to find Java packages, .pet or .sfs


Version 1.8












jre1.8.0_11_5.7.0.sfs (temporally down), more info


Version 1.7
jre1.7.0_65_5.7.0.sfs (temporally down), more info


Alternatively, use package or script to make JRE:


get_java-1.0 created by rerwin


buildscript (temporally down), make executable, run in terminal, sfs will go into /tmp, more info




Packages may also be available in the official repository for your Puppy either through the Puppy Package Manager or the SlickPet/QuickPet app.

Version Check and Enabling
Verify the installed version via the command-line interface:
java -version

Alternatively visit one of the following pages:
version (javatester.org) - finds even if disabled in browser



Symlink for Mozilla (Firefox and Seamonkey)
A symlink may need adding to the plugin directory, for example:
Newer versions:
Create directory ~/.mozilla/plugins if it does not already exist
ln -s /usr/java/java/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so

Older versions:
ln -s /usr/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so



Web browser configuration confirmation (older versions only, JavaScript needs to be enabled within the Web browser):
Enable Java: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Java
Enable Java: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Enable Java
Enable Java: Tools > Options > Content > Enable Java
Enable Java: Tools > Quick Preferences > Enable Plug-ins
Enable JavaScript: Tools > Quick Preferences > Enable JavaScript


Applications may need to be configured and re-started after installation.

Java Development Kit (JDK)
An alternative to installing the runtime environment is to use the full development kit.
Use an appropriate package, newer versions should be more secure:



Also on the Wiki
Java - page about the programming language
jar - package of multiple Java source files

How can I configure the Exception Site List? - use if Java runs but apps give security setting error
On forum
How to run Java webstart .jnlp files thread - some java packages require icedtea (for web start) to be installed separately

Should we merge Java and JavaRuntimeEnvironment pages? They cover similar ground and are both short.

http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/ is temporally down, I've update the page to reflect that. Hopefully one of the working sites has what you want.

There are no comments on this page.

On some pages comments are restricted. Which page/s were you trying to comment on?

sometimes you have to symlink the zulu installed java into eg. /usr/bin/
