OVM Console Broken by Java 7

Make sure you are using Java 6 when trying to access your OVM Virtual Machines. Java 7 seems to have broken something. Isn’t it nice that Oracle makes java and breaks its own products?

Use this download link for Java 6

cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_37/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so .

restart firefox

got “about:plugins” and make sure it is enabled.

now choose console from OVM open file as /usr/java/latest/java/bin/javaws
