So today I had a requirement to run Java web apps in Firefox. I discovered CentOS doesn’t include Java JRE out of the box – when I clicked on a URL to a Java app, I got a ‘you have chosen to open <filename>.jnlp file, what should Firefox do with this file?’ popup box. So I had to install it.

I downloaded the latest x64 version to my /tmp folder from http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en

The file was called jre-7u67-linux-x64.rpm. To install it from the command line I typed:

To confirm it was installed I typed:

which showed:

Now all I needed to do was create a link in the Firefox plugins folder to the Java plugin, so that Firefox could see it, by typing:

And now when I go to the ‘about:plugins’ link in Firefox, I see the Java plugin in the list.

I tested it by going to http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

When I tried my Java web application again, I still got the ‘you have downloaded a <filename>.jnlp file, what do you want Firefox to do’ popup. This was because I needed to associate the jnlp files with Java (or more specifically, the Java Web Start binary). To do that I just clicked the ‘browse’ button, and selected /usr/java/jre1.7.0_67/bin/javaws. Clicked the button to tell it to always use that program. My Java web apps now open automatically with Java.
