Firefox doesn't care about any java environment variables. It only cares |
| 19 |
about the file /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/javaplugin.so . In gentoo, |
| 20 |
this file is just a symlink to some actual plugin file in the VM |
| 21 |
installed (for example |
| 22 |
/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so). This |
| 23 |
symlink is created by emerging a JRE/JDK with "nsplugin" USE flag. The |
| 24 |
last VM installed with this USEflag takes this symlink. Currently |
| 25 |
there's no other way to change it except manual editing. Just recently |
| 26 |
on IRC I've suggested an eselect module for that, or to synchronize this |
| 27 |
with java-config (eselect java) VM changing. If you want to not depend |
| 28 |
on which VM was emerged last, emerge only the desired one with USE |
| 29 |
"nsplugin" (by editing package.use). |
