Java applets don't execute at all. They did at one point. The sites (internal) that have the applets I don't use often.
Java applications still run fine Oh, and you can force Firefox to find the Java plugin by putting a link in the firefox/plugins directory to ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so. Don't use

That is cheating on the RPM system but it should give you Java. I used to load Netscape and Java into non-SuSE locations and use that method. Since RPMs have become more available and more quickly available, I've been trusting them to keep me up to date, which they do.
I would recommend loading both Firefox and Java through yast. That *should* sort out problems. Restart Firefox after re-installing.
Good luck,
Jim Jim,
A most useful hint. The link that was present pointed to update8 and update13 is what is installed. It appears that the java plugin in java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-1.5.0_update13-0.5 is broken from on mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/update/10.2/
This update should have actually fixed it.
Run: update-alternatives --auto java update-alternatives --auto javaplugin
and all should be fine.
ciao, Marcus
I think there may be something wrong with the plugin itself. Starting firefox with debug gives me this when I try to load a java app in the browser: VM did not start up properly java_vm process: could not find Java VM symbols Could not read ack from child process Plugin: Java VM process has died. plugin: java process exited with status 3 Could not start JavaVM! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
