To install java plugin

Java Runtime Environment

Version: 1.4.2_05 or later

1. Install Java Runtime Environment.

2. Make a symbolic link to libjavaplugin_oji.so in your Mozilla Plugins directory. Unless you are using an old version of Mozilla, or one you compiled yourself with gcc 2.9x, use the copy located in the plugin/i386/ns7 directory of JRE 5.0, or plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32 if you are using JRE 1.4.2.

# cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/plugins
# ln -s /opt/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so

Do not copy the plugin to your plugs directory. If you do, Mozilla will crash any time you attempt to view a page containing a Java applet.

Java Runtime Environment 5.0 (1.5.0) has been released. This update fixes many problems that users are having with Java. Upgrading is highly recommended.

The instructions listed here are for the Sun Java Runtime Environment. Other Java Runtime Environments, such as those available from IBM and the Blackdown project, can also be used with Mozilla.

Downloads Sun JRE 5.0, IBM JRE 1.4.x or Blackdown JRE 1.4.x
