Step 2 Install Oracle JAVA (Here i used Version 7 Update 55 64Bit)

Open Terminal go to the in which we downloaded JAVA (Mostly Downloads)

 Unzip the tar file

$ tar -xvf jre-7u55-linux-x64.tar.gz

$ sudo mv jre1.7.0_55 /usr/lib/jvm/

$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_55/bin/java" 1

$ sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so" "mozilla-javaplugin.so" "/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_55/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so" 1


IMPORTANT choose the java you installed as default (SUN / Oracle JAVA)

 $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
 $ sudo update-alternatives --config mozilla-javaplugin.so

There is a security issue for self signed certificates, to get rid of this issue.

open control panel by executing following command

$ /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_55/bin/ControlPanel

Add site name with port number like follows.
