opera 9.5 x86_64 and Java

opera 9.5 x86_64 and Java
Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:36:35 +010
I'm trying out Opera 9.5 x86_64 (build 1875) on openSUSE 10.3.

I've heard that it should work with x86_64 Sun Java. But I can't seem to
figure it out. I'm trying to get it to work with Sun Java 1.5, I've tried
entering numerous different paths, for
example: /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0/lib/amd64

The validator in Preferences says it looks like a valid url, but Java.com
won't verify that I have Java, and the java applet for my home bank doesn't
load either.

Anybody have x86_64 Sun Java working with x86_64 Opera 9.5? 

If so which version of Java are you using, and what url are you using.

There is no 64bit Java browser plugin, the following might help explain

Thanks, but I'm aware of that. Sun are some slow bottleneck <insert
preferred 4 letter word>. But I was under the impression that Opera doesn't
use the plugin, not even on 32-bit, but accesses Java runtime directly,

Yes, you are right.  We don't use the plug-in.

(I'm no longer working on that part of the code though, so I have no
idea why it fails.)
