java installed but doesn't work

[ahahah]

hello

as suggested in this topic http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/10154-java/?hl=java

i have downladed the linux arm tar.gz of java here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u7-downloads-1836413.html

and have launched the install java from java.pnd present in the repo pandora

during the installation it says to choose the oracle archive etc.. and to overwrite over a previous version (i have launched it a 1st time without oracle), i've choosed "yes".

the installation is complete, i've reboot the pandora.

but when i want to go to this page http://www.flyordie.com/games/online/games.html?lang=en&game=Chess&rs=1 and click on the "play as guest" link, i have a logo that says java is not installed.

but as described above, i have installed it.

how to solve the problem please?

ps: i use firefox 17

As far as I know both OpenJDK and Oracle's ARM version of Java do not give you a plugin for Web applets. It's currently only useful for standalone Java applications that do not require a web browser.

 

[ahahah]

same problem with .jar files

i have extracted the jar file from the archive downloadable here http://code.google.com/p/nullpomino/

when i launch it (with the "run jar file" from the java.pnd or in righ-clicking on the jar file and "open with..." java)

nothing happens

Normally running a Java program you need to use this command...

java -jar your_jarfile.jar

However this game seems to require a bit more, there are script files pointing to external classes. So I got the game to launch by running the play_swing script as there seems to be some SDL dependency issue when trying the play_sdl script..

just type:

./play_swing

It can just launch by clicking the play_swing file from the file explorer, it just takes a few seconds to show.

thanks it works, the window doesn't fit in the screen (800x480) because it is a 800x600 window

blackalice in this video http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/4087-is-it-possible-to-adapt-this-game-for-the-pandora/#entry72030 seems not to have any resolution problem.

is there a way to change the screen resolution to 800x600?

 

[TrashyMG]

Not easily and it's not the screen's native resolution, so if you could it would look weird.

However you can set the game to 640x480.. it's in the Advanced tab in the general options.

 

[ahahah]

you are right

thanks a lot for your help

No Problem.
