Openjdk 1.7 don't work in cauldron,openjdk 1.6 is working without any problems i have try to change used java with command,update-alternatives --config java but firefox is still use openjdk 1.6.
Summary: changed java with update-alternatives --config java but firefox don't change it,it still use openjdk 1.6 => changed java with update-alternatives --config java but firefox don't change it to openjdk 1.7,it still use openjdk 1.6
Java used for programs written in java and the java plugin used for web browsers come from different packages. Install the package icedtea-web to get the openjck web browser plugin, and then use "update-alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so", if needed, to select it.

I get this from root terminal. There is only 1 program which provides libjavaplugin.so (/usr/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so). Nothing to configure. That command it's not helping anything.
Can you provide a url where firefox and the IcedTea plugin are not working?
duplicate of https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4880 no ?
Created attachment 1820 [details] Screenshots java test page You can see from screenshot that browser is still using old 1.6 java not new openjdk 1.7.0.1
This is not about that java is not working,problem it's browser do not use new java 1.7 it's using 1.6 java,i have updated icedtea-web to 1.2 but same problem.
That can be package problem because icedtea-web is build against openjdk 1.6 and it can be not find new openjdk 1.7 because of that.
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mandrake.cooker.devel/314927 That link is mandriva mailing list about building icedtea-web to against openjdk 1.7 packages to their testing medias,so it need to build against openjdk 1.7 or it do not work,it seems that only way to test new java 1.7 is to install oracle closed java.
we use as default openjdk 1.6 svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/meta-task/current/SOURCES/prefer.vendor.list?view=log

icedtea-web uses java-1.6.0-openjdk in Mageia 2. It will use java-1.7.0-openjdk in Mageia 3. You can rebuild it against 1.7.0 in Mageia 2 if you wish.
