'java -version' says [code] openjdk version "1.7.0-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-internal-tc_2010_01_30_13_43-b00) OpenJDK Server VM (build 17.0-b08, mixed mode) [/code] How do I make firefox 13 recognise this ? I have used sun/oracle jre in which you have to make a link to libjavaplugin_oji.so & libjpnp.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/. In openjdk I found /tmp/tcloop/openjdk-7-jre/usr/local/openjdk-7/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so /tmp/tcloop/openjdk-7-jre/usr/local/openjdk-7/jre/lib/i386/libjava_crw_demo.so

OpenJDK by itself do not contain a browser plugin or webstart.
You can manually install icedtea-web, it contains a browser plugin and webstart that work in combination with OpenJDK.
The IcedTea team only provide source-code that can be used to build the plugin on your system.
The latest IcedTea-web release is 1.2.

You can find build instructions here:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web

#Building icedtea-web is quite easy if you have all build dependencies installed on your system:
#example of a manual icedtea-web 1.2 build
cd ~
wget http://icedtea.classpath.org/download/source/icedtea-web-1.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf icedtea-web-1.2.tar.gz
mkdir icedtea-web-1.2-image
cd icedtea-web-1.2
./configure --prefix=~/icedtea-web-1.2-image
make
make install
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/
ln -s ~/icedtea-web-test/icedtea-web-1.2-image/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so .
#done!
#open firefox and check about:plugins
#The about page should now contain: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.2)
#The icedtea-web-1.2-image/bin also contains javaws that will allow you to run webstart .jnlp files.

Try Collaborate with your Tiny Core distribution to get icedtea-web built and packaged for your distribution.
