Enabling jre 1.3 with Java 2 support in Mozilla 1.2
I keep getting the error it needs this plug in, which I have a link set up in /opt/mozilla/plugins. It is: /opt/java/jre1.3.1_07/plugin/i386/ns4/libjavaplugin_oji.so The site is http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt/text/0,,HGTV_3936_5500,FF.html (My wife is sure we are going to win it!) I have even tried linking it from the ns600/ directory, but it doesn't work either. Same with copying it directly into the /plugins directory. It is set up exactly like this for Netscape 7, (using the ns600 plugin) and it works fine. It also works fine in Konqueror, just not in Mozilla. What am I missing, besides damaged brain cells?

Not even those. This is a problem with the fact that Mozilla was compiled using the latest compiler, and the Java plugin (whose source isn't available) wasn't. This latest version of the compiler broke some backwards compatibility, and the real fix will be when Sun releases a newly compiled version of the Java plugins. The easiest solution is to install and use the binary distribution from mozilla.org instead of the SuSE RPM. -tara

Yep!, I agree. I have Mozilla 1.2 (installed from Mozillasite tarball and not from suse rpm) and Java RE 1.3.1 (from Java site)... and your link worked just fine... nice house!. Make sure you follow all the installation instructions from the Java site... you need to copy some files and create some links by hand after installing. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
