1.4.2.1 Asian Languages Not Supported on SUSE 10 Due to Java Limitations

Asian languages are not supported by Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SUSE) 10 due to inherent Java limitations. Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese are the Asian languages that are not supported. The problem can be reproducible when you launch Oracle Universal Installer on Asia locales. The Japanese, Chinese, and Korean strings become square characters.

1.4.2.2 Restrictions on Specific Browsers

1.4.2.2.1 Java Plugin for Discoverer Plus Not Downloaded Automatically on Firefox

When you attempt to connect to Discoverer Plus by using the Mozilla Firefox browser on a computer that does not have Java 1.6 installed, Firefox does not download the JRE 1.6 plug-in automatically. Instead, Firefox displays the following message: "Additional plugins are required to display this page..."

The workaround is to download the JRE 1.6 plug-in by clicking the Install Missing Plugin link and install it manually.

1.4.3 Upgrading Sun JDK From 1.6.0_07 to 1.6.0_11
