After I have installing J2sdk1.4.2. I got a directory in /home/eros/j2sdk1.4.2.

What should I do next? How do I configure it? How to make my Navigator be java-enabled also?

Can any1 help me plz? Thanks

Suggest you move j2sdk1.4.2 to /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2

ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2 /usr/local/java

cd /usr/lib/mozilla-<ver>/plugins

ln -s /usr/local/java/jre/plugin/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so // this should be in a aingle line.

close mozilla and start it again.

Click Help, About Plugins

Check if Java is listed.

how come when i click on Mozilla it will appear Netscape and the plug-in in the Netscape does not have Java listed?

Why is it so that after following the instruction i still dun not have any Java plugin listen in my Netscape?

2 different directories:
/usr/lib/netscape (or similar)
/usr/lib/mozilla
You must symlink to the plugins directory within each one.

Cool

the problem is that i have symlink to the both directory... but there is still no plugin....
anyway.... the java should i use j2sdk1.4.2 or j2re1.4.2
cos i use j2sdk1.4.2 plugins to symlink to them.
is there any differences between the 2 java package

sdk is basically more, but no, there shouldn't be a difference as far as the browser plugin is concerned. Can you post up the symlinks? Something like this is what you'd use to get the info I'm looking for:
ls -lh /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ls -lh /usr/lib/netscape/plugins

Cool

bash-2.05b$ ls -lh /usr/lib/netscape/plugins
total 948k
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.3k Feb 8 23:47 ShockwaveFlash.class
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 924k Feb 8 23:47 libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Jul 20 22:27 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/local/java/jre/plugin/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19k Feb 8 23:47 libnullplugin.so

And which version of netscape are you using? Also, can you post up your mozilla symlink as well?

When you use:
about:plugins
in netscape, does it show ANY information about Java?

Cool

Netscape 7.02

Mozilla symlink:
bash-2.05b$ ls -lh /usr/lib/mozilla1-3/plugins
ls: /usr/lib/mozilla1-3/plugins: No such file or directory
bash-2.05b$ ls -lh /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins

Nope, there is no information abt Java only shows:
Shockwave Flash

File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 5.0 r48

Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes

Default Plugin

File name: libnullplugin.so
The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins.

Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled
* All types .* Yes

Maybe it's netscape? All the rest of that looks fine, check your netscape configuration, is it pointing to a different place when looking for plugins? Is there something stopping it from using java in the config?

Cool

Can I know how to check where is my netscape pointing it plugins cos i can't find it
