I am attempting to get JRE 7 run in firefox in ubuntu 12.04, 32 bit.
I've tried to follow this article: www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-oracle-java-runtime-jre-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ .
I've also tried this repository: www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-debian.html
As well as installing JDK, which contains JRE, by following this article: www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
With all above method of installation, I get the following error in firefox console when I run applet with firefox:

I've tried to type:
sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/bin/java
It did not work.
I also tried to run Eclipse, which requires JRE to run. It did not work originally(it works now), returning the following error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:
no swt-gtk-3740 in java.library.path
no swt-gtk in java.library.path
Can't load library: /home/username/.swt/lib/linux/x86/libswt-gtk-3740.so
Can't load library: /home/usename/.swt/lib/linux/x86/libswt-gtk.so
at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Library.java:285)
By running "ln -s /usr/lib/jni/libswt-* ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86/" (Thanks, stackoverflow.com/questions/10970754/cant-open-eclipse-in-ubuntu-12-04-java-lang-unsatisfiedlinkerror-could-not-l), Eclipse works again.
I have been googling this for days, without luck. Any response would be appreciated.
