mozilla java

[Arron]

Im trying to get a java app to run in mozilla. Im runnen debain 3.0 and have
installed the netscape-java-477 package which i "believe" is what it needed.
Acording to what i have read though the base mozilla package has it
installed....

When i try to get a java app to work (that claims it will work with netscape
and mozilla and ie) i get ;

"This page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can
only be viewed with the appropiate Plug-in."

I know the site has the plug on the site, with ie it runs it fine.... Any
ideas??

the same result....

Get the 1.4.2 plugin from java.sun.com, then
ln -s
/usr/java/<version>/plugin/i386/<ns610|ns610-gcc32>/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-<version>/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

For what its worth, I have done this step as well but still no joy. I'm
running Mozilla ver. 1.4 on RH 7.3 and tried both the "/ns610-gcc32" and
"/ns-610" versions. Is there some other step perhaps that needs to be done?

Make sure you've got Java enabled on the "Advanced" dialog in
Preferences, although I suspect you've already been there.

Does Java show up in Help/About Plugins? Once upon a time Java got
flakey on me. It showed up as a plugin, but wouldn't run. I fixed it
by uninstalling Java, startup/shutdown Mozilla (to unregister the
plugin), then reinstalling Java. It worked, but it seems painfully
reminiscent of some other OS.

I'm using Mozilla 1.4 on RH 7.3 right now, BTW. You use ns610 for RH up
to 8. ns610-gcc32 is for RH 9. YMMV for other distros. Basically the
plugin you use and Mozilla itself need to be compiled with the same
version of the compiler. ns610 is compiled with gcc-2.96.
