I do have JDK, everything works fine in Ubuntu, I mean IDE, some apps, I’m able to develop and run projects, but I got a message in Chrome: Java(TM) is required to display this content

I need to run this applet. How do I do that? I need to run it in Chrome because of the GWT plugin installed here. Should I add some parameters in a script, that would run it? Or is there another way? I saw links that proposed to install Java plugin for Chrome in Windows and Mac, but not Linux. Thanks in addvance.

I made a link to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/libnpt.so in /opt/google/chrome/plugins, it didn’t help (well, it’s not libnpjp2.so, which is recommended for this case, but it’s the closest one I saw there).

Update: I found libnpjp2.so on my machine, the following command helped: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_03/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

    From a previous question:

    Yes, add –enable-plugins to your chrome command. It’s currently not
    considered stable, but it works for me.

    Actually, it seems to just work without that. Have you tried it? You
    can find a test applet here. Presumably you’ll need Sun’s Java
    installed.

    UPDATE: see the link for further details. Lots of helpful answers.
