I am running 4.0 stable and cannot get JAVA to install correctly. I am thinking the link in the package has changed. I need java (preferably an older one) to configure some legacy external HP JetDirect Boxes. Please help

Ok Mojo, thanks. I installed Java7 and its now running the plugin in Mozilla and Midori. However when I try and run the config page for my print server I keep getting: Application Blocked by Security Settings Your Security settings have blocked an application from running with an out-of-date or expired version of Java.
Again, Im trying to configure some pretty old HP jet direct devices, so the older the java the better.
Howo do I access the Java control panel to see if I can add the exception in the security settings? IS that possible?

Java control center requires bash, leave /bin/sh set to busybox.
Applications/Preferences/Java
or in terminal
[c]jcontrol[/c]
Not sure if what your trying to do is possible.
It will be trial and error,start with this:
Go to the Advanced tab and choose every (not recommended) setting and click Apply button

mojo,
I installed bash and left /bin/sh set to busybox
Under applications/Preferences I do NOT have a Java listing
When I try and run jcontrol in terminal I get:
root@slitazCPX:/home/user# jcontrol
bash: jcontrol: command not found

Forgot about the required symlink for jcontrol so it's in your path.
Find the absolute path to jcontrol:
[c]tazpkg search-file bin/jcontrol[/c]
Search result for file /bin/jcontrol
================================================================================
Package java8-jre:
/usr/java/jre1.8.0_40/bin/jcontrol
================================================================================
1 file(s) found for: /bin/jcontrol
As root create a symlink from jcontrol to /usr/bin
[c]# ln -sf /usr/lib/java/jre1.*/bin/jcontrol /usr/bin[/c]

Mojo, Tried this and Jcontrol is still not working. I installed the java 7 package. Do I need to install the java 8 package to get this feature?

Both java7 packages have jcontrol:

That did it! Jcontrol is now loading and with the security settings modified I am now able to run the Jet Direct application! Thank you mojo and Aleksej for helping me out!
