Bug Description

I would like to install the Java Runtime Environment to enable me to view webcams on my Ubuntu OS computer.
I have the following info:
"Java Runtime Environment
Version: 1.4.2 or later
Firefox 2.0: Supported
FAQ: Java FAQ
   1. Install Java Runtime Environment.
   2. Make a symbolic link to libjavaplugin_oji.so in your Mozilla Plugins directory. Use the copy located in the plugin/i386/ns7 directory of JRE 5.0 or later, or plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32 if you are using JRE 1.4.2."

I do not understand what this means however. Can someone please walk me thru it in easy stages?
Thanks.

Thanks for your question. The bug section is for reporting errors in the Ubuntu software. Launchpad also has an answers section where you can ask our community support a question.

You can install one of the Java environments in Synaptic, I prefer doing it through automatix

Thanks for your comments. This does not appear to be a bug report and we are closing it. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise your question in the support tracker. <https://answers.launchpad.net/questions>

And please, dont recommend automatix. It's known to break things, and wont allow dist-upgrades through the dist-upgrader.

Instead of bashing other projects you should point to the solution in Ubuntu:

Choose Add/remove in the Applications menu, select show all applications and search for java. Just a few clicks away. Gnome-app-install will be integrated into firefox like this has already be done for codecs in Totem.

The dist-upgrader still allows to upgrade a system that has automatix installed.
