Java problem


I searched and couldn't find the answer.

I installed 1.1.3.10 and it works fine on my Konqueror browser, but not on my Mozilla browser.

Now, I went to the browser-plugins directory and compared the plugins for Konquerer and Mozilla and they're the same. I even copied/pasted and overwritten the existing ones to make sure my eyes weren't decieving me, LOL.

Now, when I goto say a page with a chat, the applet loads on Konqueror, but if I type in the same page on Mozilla, it says I need a plug-in.

What can I do to make Mozilla load the Java applet? I have the Java folder installed in the usr/Java directory, but which component do I need to copy/paste specifically?

**edit**
there is also the usr/lib/java, but it's so extensive when opened....I thought I'de add that as it may help....

I can't remember off top of my head but try just highlighting Advanced in the Preferences, I think there should be a check box there to enable Java.

You need to create a symlink in your /mozilla/plugins folder to your /usr/Java/libjavaplugin.so file or something like that. I don't remember the exact file name that it's supposed to be linked to.

I did everything you said. I had to modify the j2re-1_4_2 to j2re-1_4_2_03....so it worked. If I goto the plugins directory, I get the little locked icon on the paper named linjavaplugin_oji.so, so that whole sym link worked. But I goto a website where I need Java and there is still the message that appears "You need a Java plug-in....". What do I do?

Like somebody else said, when I click the Help > About plugins, no Java plug-ins appear on the list. But I have that sym link icon in my Mozilla Plug ins directory.... WTF?
