I am trying to enable java within the Firefox browser on opensuse 10.2 x86_64. I installed the Sun Java .bin file under /usr/java/jre1.5.0_11. There is a link to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_11 called "default" in the same directory. I also created the link "/usr/lib/browser-plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/default/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so"
When I view the URL "about:plugins" I see the following with all the MIME Types enabled:
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_11-b03
File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_11
However, when I try to verify my java installation from the Sun download site, I only see the red "X" in the corner of the applet box, and the status bar text displays "Applet jreCheck notinited" and "Applet testvm notinited".
In the Java console I see:
load: class jreCheck.class not found.
and
load: class jreVerify.class not found.
along with many (Unknown Source) exceptions following the load errors.
Searching Google has uncovered a possible proxy misconfiguration, but I'm not using any proxies. This workstation is unrestricted in that respect, it uses NAT for Internet connection not a proxy.
Thank you for any help you can provide. I don't know what I'm missing, but something is definitely out of whack.

Sounds like you have loaded the Sun version of Java. SuSE built applications tend expect JRE info to be defined in particular locations. Use the SuSE RPM rather than SUN one unless you have very good reason to install the SUN version. The SUN bin version does not get registered in Yast or configured via other config tools. The basic Java settings are made in /etc/java/java.conf but be warned other things may need manual configuration. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
