Having found that the Sun java plugin I was using with Mozilla 1.6 was buggy, I went for blackdown's version. Now, I've completly replaced Sun's /usr/java with blackdown's and symlinked the plugin to my mozilla/plugin dir. Here's the error:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?

System error?:: Success

This makes no sense. I searched far and wide in the forums and Google, and one person had a suggestion about symlinking /usr/java/bin/java java - but that makes no sense in this case, as he was referring to Sun's JRE.

I know it's something totally simple I'm missing here.. or is it?
And yes, I read the help files like 50 times :P

<edit>
Also, java works great with Konqueror, but who want's to use Konqueror? :P
</edit>

someone else here posted the exact same msg.
what exactly is the bug that you have with the sun plugin? and what does blackdowns plugin modify?
