17 It is already configured:
18
19 # eselect java-nsplugin list
20 Available 32-bit Java browser plugins
21 Available 64-bit Java browser plugins
22 [1] oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 current

30 It seems that Midori is not seeing the Java plugin and the test page
31 . I am getting the following when testing for the Java plugin:
32
33 % ls -l /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins
34 total 18840
35 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 67 Dec 31 2014 javaplugin.so -> //usr/share/java-config-2/nsplugin/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8-javaplugin.so

39 % MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins midori http://javatester.org/version.html
40 [...]
41 ERROR: Didn't find JVM under /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins
42 WebKitPluginProcess: ../../../../src/plugin/solaris/plugin2/common/JavaVM.c:170: InitializeJVM: Assertion `foundJVM' failed.
43

45 Also, loading the page
46 https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-java-installed in Midori shows
47 that the Java plugin is disabled.
48

50 Any more clues?

56
57 Yes, it works with Firefox. But first it may be necessary to give
58 permissions to execute Java applications from the site of interest.
59
60 After running the Java Control Panel (jcontrol) and adding the site
61 http://javatester.org/ to the exception site list (in the Security tab),
62 the plugin is correctly detected, as can be seen in the attached image.
