can't get java 1.4.2 to work with firefox 0.9.3


I'm trying to get java to work with firefox. I have j2re1.4.2 installed, and I have a symlink to the java plugin in firefox/plugins:

libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so*

When I try to load a page with a java applet, I get:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from child process
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable

Is my java installation corrupt?

I don't think so. Have you tried to open any other applet?
That error message is typical when you forget to specify the main class in a java program:

I'm currently using firefox 0.9.3 with j2sdk1.4.2_05 and all works (and the same with old versions of java and firefox).

Okay, I got java working -- the problem was with my java installation. I had 2 conflicting versions of java installed. I deleted them and reinstalled jre, and now everything works.

I have the same problem. Did you delete both installs or just one?

Do I need to uninstall or just delete?

I believe that I deleted both existing installations of java, and made a clean install.
