Yes, of course they do. But they *do not* work with Mozilla. The reason
they work with Netscape 7 and below is because Netscape 7 is compiled
with GCC 2.95.x. If SuSE were to compile Mozilla with the older GCC it
would work fine as is evident by using the mozilla.org pkg.
So for everyone who has a question about JAVA and 8.1. It works but not
with Mozilla compiled with GCC 3.2. I've had no problems with anything
else..for example I use Moneydance for manageing my banking. If this has
stopped working I would be hitting the roof and going back to 8.0 until
it was fixed. Well, it works fine and I'm quite happy with 8.1. I've
installed the mozilla.org build of Mozilla and all is well.
