mozilla 1.0.0 and sun j2sdk1.4.0_01
 

Have anyone successfully installed the java plugin
libjavaplugin_oji.so from sun j2sdk1.4.0_01 into
mozilla 1.0.0?

I've seen advice in many places to link:

$JAVA/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so

to
$MOZILLA/plugins

but a) with j2sdk1.4.0_01 the plugin is libjavaplugin_oji.so
and b) linked either as ..oji.so *or* ..oji140.so,

Help->AboutPlugins

doesn't see java.

Oddly, when I go to:

http://www.gemal.dk/browserspy/javajava.html

konqueror sees java.version 1.4.0_01, and says that java is
enabled and supported; mozilla says not so.

Any ideas gratefully accepted. No idea too silly to be
considered. :-)

Mozilla and Java....
 

You are aware that Mozilla 1.0 has an issue with Java? There is a bug described here.....

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83376

It involves the UserAgent described in pref.js

Take a look at this site....

http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/javalinux.html

And, create the link as libjavaplugin_oji140.so

Mozilla 1.1 Beta has a fix for this. You can edit the pref.js file as described in the Release Notes (under Known Problems | JavaScript Debugger).

Have a lot of fun!

Ah. I had looked at the mozdev.org page, but hadn't
figured out how to check the user agent, and simply
assumed that it was probably correct.

Thanks!

Tell us if it works....
 

Personally, I am waiting for the release of 1.1

I came to Mozilla after trying Netscape 6 and having some disappointments. I started with the Netscape PreRelease Candidates, and I think my first Mozilla version was 0.9.4

I have kept up with the updates since and really like it. I have no use any longer for Netscape. Why not use the original which is Mozilla? I am very pleased with everything Mozilla has accomplished.

I am also considering downloading some of the other plugins/add-ons such as the PGP and mail filter add-ons. Those should be interesting.

As Mozilla matures, I think it will really become the best.

As for me mozilla1.0.0 works ok with java -1.4.1-beta-b14

I tryed copying the pugin from the 1.4 version into the Mozilla plugin file and took out the 1.3 file ..but it didn't work the first website i went to it wanted to install the 1.3 plugin I would love to get this fixed as I chat in java (I know it's a bad habbit) and it locks up if I have more than two windows open. and some of the buttons arn't visable.

you shouldn't copying the plugin you need to symlink it with
ln -s /what/to/link /where/to/link

so the simlink would go like this ln -s /usr/local/mozilla/plugins /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/plugins is this right?

with a little correction to you need a symlink name and it is all the way around, to make things simplier
cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/<at this point hit tab for autocompletion and enter>
ns610 is for mozilla 1.0

going back to why 1.4.0_01 won't work.. the first suggestion
was that the mozilla "USER_AGENT" isn't set correctly.

I checked my mozilla parameters on this useful page:

http://xml.unigrok.com/info.php

(scroll down to the Apache Environment)

and observe that USER_AGENT is indeed Mozilla/5.0,
which (if I understood correctly) is what jre wants the
USER_AGENT to be. (I'm using the mdk tweaked mozilla)

Hence the USER_AGENT bug wouldn't seem to explain
my problem.

I then regressed to the 1.4.0 (no _01) java, and see exactly
the same behavior.

With regard to symlinking: I've symlinked, not copied, so
I should be OK here too. (Why does copying not work??)

Haven't tried 1.4.1beta yet, but I have this strong suspicion
that there's some systemic problem, such as incorrect glibc.
(I'm running mdk82 with /lib/libc-2.2.4.so) I checked per-
missions - 755 - on libjavaplugin, no problem there.

Hmm, come to think of it, if there's a systemic problem, then
why does konqueror find the plugins?

Any other ideas?

Ok I made the link ...when I go to browser spy it lists both versions of java i tried dsl reports and no differance and i also tried another java app ... no differance. Will mozilla automaticly use the newer version to run apps?
