Hey there, I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 and I have Simba running fine under WINE. I've tried several different browsers including Firefox, Chrome and Opera and none of them seem to recognize the Java install I have. It works on my linux-native Chrome install, but none of the in-WINE browsers recognize that I have Java installed. Yes, I installed Java on WINE too, using the offline mode installer as the online one gave me 403 forbidden error during the installation.
Surely I can't be the only person trying to bot with a linux distro, can someone tell me how they got Java to work on their WINE browser? Thanks.

Have you checked if those browsers have the have extension/plugin. I know firefox will sometimes disable java if its an older version.

They're not even recognizing that Java (the plugin) exists. It's j7u15, so the most recent.

Please read the post. I have Simba running just fine, I just can't get Java to work and thus can't load RuneScape at all in the browser. The issue isn't to do with SRL. :S

I setup one under fedora if you're still having problems.. through tests I came to realize anything ubuntu based is bloated, and in most cases fedora runs more light weight and faster.. it's sad to see a debian based product (ubuntu) go in such a wrong direction

it is very strange how yours doesn't work, I had lots of problems with java+wine+browser under all the Lubuntu/Ubuntu/Xubuntu I tried, I'm not sure how they randomly started working.. fedora though was extremely straight forward, I hope it remains that way so I can keep the VM going

did you try changing the PATH variable or its equivalent in wine to include the path to java folder?

Is your browser installed via wine?

the only way I get it working on the browser (not with wine) Is by using OpenJDK and IcedTea Plugin.
Don't think that simba is gonna work with this method.

Try jre v6 , I think that one works better.
