=Scientific Linux java Fuu=
==Initial steps==
So first off and for good measure I would run 

 yum update

Now reboot into the new kernel.

==Java in firefox, for storm console==

After rebooting into the most up to date kernel, go to the following link and grad the newest version of java7 JDK(not JRE, needs to be JDK)

 Java [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html Download]

Download the  "Linux x64	104.78 MB  	jdk-7u*-linux-x64.rpm" and it should ask you if you want to install it with the package manger please do so.

Next run the following commands to change alternatives to use this version of java.

 alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_17/bin/java 99
 alternatives --config java

Now you will have the following output on your screen.
<pre>
[root@VoV [/]$  alternatives --config java

There is 1 program that provides 'java'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
   2           /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_17/bin/java

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:        
</pre>

In the above scenario I want want to use the jdk, so choose option 2.


Now to make java work in firefox, run the following command as root.

 ls -s /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_17/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

Now if you open firefox and either browse to about:plugins or login into an accounts storm dashboard you should be able to use the console now.
