Just a heads up, Google has fully dropped Netscape Plug-in API (NPAPI) in one of the last Chrome and Chromium updates. This has been planned for some time. From what I'm seeing, this means that neither the icetea nor the Oracle Java plugins will work in Chrome/Chromium until they are updated use one of their other plugin APIs (Pepper?).

For now, this means that I have to switch to Firefox for my primary work browser after using Chrome/Chromium for many years. I still have to use the Java web plugins for meetings at work.

If you do have Java installed, you need to install icedtea plugin.

sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin

After Installing this package just restart your browser and Java should be working.

  • I tried this but it only works in firefox not on google chrome. When i restart the crome browser it java (TM) is required to display some elements on this page – Rshrth May 22 '14 at 08:52
  • It's probably because Java is disabled in your browser. Go to Control Panel, click on the Java icon and click the Security tab on the dialog box that opens up and make sure that the Enable Java content in the browser box is checked – Prakash V Holkar May 22 '14 at 10:21

  • Please make sure java version is compatible with icedtea-plugin if java version is 1.6 then install sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin. if java version is 1.7 then sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin – Prakash V Holkar May 22 '14 at 13:26
