Pretty much a port of the JRE plugin from unMenu (with an slightly updated JRE version).  The PS3 Media Server plugin requires this as a dependency, so I thought that I would create this install as a separate plugin in case it's needed for anything else.

 

To install, just download the plg file and copy it to your flash drive into the config/plugins folder. Then reboot your server or run "installplg /boot/config/plugins/jre-6u27-i586-1aj.plg".

Changelog:

20111023 - initial release

20111102 - updated JRE to 6u27 (from 6u20)

 

Notes:

• Right now, all it does is download and install the JRE.  I think I'll eventually add "uninstall JRE" (not the plugin, but the actual JRE functionality), to mimic the "enable/disable" functionality of other plugins...
  

 

I love that so much of the work that went into the unMENU package .conf files can be reused as plugins under 5.X.

 

Thanks for contributing.

What he said

Updated JRE to 6u27 (from 6u20).  See original post for updated download.

Tried the installpkg command and it says:

Cannot install /boot/config/plugins/jre-6u27-i586-1aj.plg:  file does not end in .tgz, .tbz, .tlz, or .txz

that is because it is not installpkg

Jeez do I feel stupid... thx.

M-

This is not working.  Looked at the file and then browsed to the jre file and it is not there.  Tried looking in older directories and found older versions.  Edited the file but of course I am now getting and md5 error.

 

Cheers,

bad download, deleting

You could manually download the package to /boot/packages by searching for it:

http://packages.zenwalk.org/?p=jre-6u27-i586-1.txz&zversion=snapshot

If it helps, here's a link to a modified version of the original plugin updated to use JRE7u2.  It's sitting on my own dropbox which I use for maintaining the airvideo plugin, so it won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

and if you really want JRE6u27, working plugin for that is here;

I know this thread is about the java JRE install plugin, but I had the same issue with installing the JRE then java when running it (not crashplan) from an unRAID share:

 

Just in case someone else is having a similar issue.

 

I setup crashplan on the cache drive and all worked well.  In setting up a 'free' version for a friend, I installed it on a share: /mnt/user/apps/crashplan.  I setup the share to use only disk2 (and obviously, no cache drive option was available).  When starting up crashplan I kept getting an error:

 

Error: no `server' JVM at `/mnt/user/apps/crashplan/cp_bin/jre/lib/i386/server/libjvm.so'.

 

This error happened when I just tried to execute the java executable.  I tried a few other JDKs and all gave me the same issue.  Turns out, java doesn't really like the share folder setup.  I'm not sure exactly why, but I changed the crashplan install path to use /mnt/disk2/apps/crashplan as its install folder and all worked well.  (I updated this path in the crashplan plugin settings via the unraid menu, deleted the /mnt/user/apps/crashplan folder completely, then disabled/re-enabled the plugin).
