Using Java applications in Firefox and Chromium browsers

To do this, you need to run java scripts on your browser, with sound and image.


Procedure :


First, install java-17-openjdk from Mageia Control Center.


The server then downloads a small .jnlp file for you to run. But Firefox and Chromium no longer support Java formats.

An alternative has been created: OpenWebStart, on github.com.

https://github.com/karakun/OpenWebStart/releases/


What you need to do is download OpenWebStart_linux_1_11_1.deb


And run as root:

dpkg -i OpenWebStart_linux_1_11_1.deb


Installation goes smoothly. Files are installed in /opt

See doc: https://openwebstart.com/docs/OWSGuide.html#_what_is_openwebstart

And now Firefox and Chromium are running the .jnlp files.
