Webex on Ubuntu 10.04

I updated my Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 last week. I was quiet happy noticing almost no issues post upgrade until yesterday when I noticed that the Webex which I configured in Ubuntu 9.10 is not working anymore. Did a little bit of research and saw that my .profile file is pointing to Open JDK for JAVA. After little bit of google I found that Webex does not work well with openJDK & IcedTea. Here are the steps I did to get Webex working back

  • sudo apt-get remove icedtea6-plugin
  • sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
  • sudo update-alternatives --config java
  • sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
