How to get Sun's Java running on F8rc3!

[Knute Johnson]

Ok, here's how I finally got it work.

As root  -

1) Download the Sun Java Linux RPM from java.sun.com and install it.

2) Fix the Xinerama bug with

sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' 
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03//jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

Save a copy if you want to restore it to original.

3) Put the link to

/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7libjavaplugin_oji.so into

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

4) Install compat-libstdc++-33

Now you should be able to compile and run Java applications, run Java 
Applets in Firefox and load and run Java Web Start programs.
