$ opera -debugjava opera: [java] There seems to be a preloaded version of Xt. There is a workaround for this problem in the opera startup script. If that workaround fails, opera will most likely crash every time it tries to use Java. The workaround seems to be working. Technical explanation: There is a problem with the order of loading Xt and Java. If Xt is loaded before libawt (part of Java), Java will crash when it tries to access the screen. The workaround is based on using LD_PRELOAD to load libawt.so first. opera: [java] The Java enable flag will not be reset because the OPERA_FORCE_JAVA_ENABLED environment variable has been defined. opera: [Java] Adding '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/plugin.jar' to classpath.
