This question already has an answer here:

I've got Java working on Firefox in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), but using the same page on Chromium tells me Java cannot be found.

How can I enable Java on Chromium in my Ubuntu 11.04?

Installed and still no luck. – mrobertran Jun 6 '11 at 12:18
    
Can you try if it's not the specific page you are trying to see is causing the problem? Try other java pages to see if they work. – 719016 Jun 6 '11 at 12:39

According to this

You can't. You would have to recompile Chromium and edit the line that disallows NPAPI.

You get the IcedTea-web Java browser plugin by installing the icedtea-plugin package.

You can quickly do this from the command line running:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin

The first thing to do is to install Java:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre icedtea-7-plugin

Restart chromium-browser and then use about:plugins to check if it's enabled.

No need for openjdk, icedtea-*-plugin is enough – DiAlex Feb 8 '14 at 16:12

I have both of those but don't see an option in about:plugins to enable it. – isomorphismes Sep 3 '14 at 19:23

  • Go to : about:plugins
  • Under location: you should see enable (if it is disabled).

Java Plugin

This happened with me at first.

Also, see: Do I have Java? If it takes too long , it means that there isn't java installed or something went wrong during installation.
