Suse 9.0 Pro comes ready to run out of the box. But I did install sun's java by downloading their RPM and doing RPM -i Javesomething.rpm . I then placed the check marks in konqueror and added a line to my .bashrc file like this. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/java1.1.4something/bin/ I did have to restart kde but I never had trouble with it again. I learned this while using Mandrake a few years ago. Suse was the first one I ad see to get it working out of the box. I'm sure there may be better ways but hey, it's always worked so why change.

Jerry,
Thanks for looking into this for me. Yes, I am using KDE and Konqueror 3.1.1.
Sounds like your KDE beta 3.2 displays the PLugin succesfully, so I am gonna upgrade one box to 3.2beta in a few days and try. Will follow up if it does not work for me there.
I am actually ok with running Mozilla for now (need to run some plugins at work) but I wanted to clarify this, I just wanted to make a small contribution so Konqueror and Java don't get shortchanged even more ... i still cannot use Konqueror to access my bank website and hate that.
Anyway, Thanks again, milan

Hmm. This link works just fine for me. I get the pink box saying "Java Version ...". However, the "java enabled" page <http://javatester.org/enabled.html> comes up blank. I believe this may be a limitation in the way that the page tests for Java support. Especially, since I don't see nary a mention of Konqueror.

Works just fine for me. I'm testing this side-by-side with Konqi 3.2b2 and Firebird 0.7 using the 1.4.2 JRE (and plugin) distributed with SuSE 9.0.
Now, your problem may be that you're using Konqi 3.0 (and possibly 3.1). Googling around for "konqueror java applets" I see that you may be out of luck. Seems to be something in the way that konqi interacts with some java applets. Further reading shows that Konqueror *will never* register the java plugin b/c that mime-type is controlled by the java/javascript kio panel.
It appears that the solution for you may be to upgrade you KDE installation, or stick to Mozilla.
Hope this helps.
