    The best bet I've found is to install the linuxpluginwrapper port, but
    you'll need a recently compiled 4.9-STABLE world/kernel to make it work.

    It's apparent that you've installed Java other than with a port. There
    are several problems with this:

    1) native applications don't operate too well with Linux Java (and vice
    versa);

    2) neither the files nor the symlinks are installed where FreeBSD and
    native apps expect them to be;

    3) Opera probably can't even find the Java plugin as a result.

    Moral of the story . . . "use the ports Luke!" They're there for a reason.
