Using Java in Linux--Please Read!
I installed Java for Linux (I'm running RH 8.0) and it won't work at all. My primary reason for installing Java is so I can run Limewire, but I can't even use it in Mozilla. What should I do?

have you followed the instructions and created a symlink from the pluing to your mozill aplugin directory?
also, don't bother with limewire, it's crap. http://gtk-gnutella.sf.net http://gift.sf.net

And have you set JAVA_HOME variable so limewire can find java?
Best feature of Limewire I found was the automatic uninstall...but each to their own.

lime wire is lame,
go for the gt-gnutella
and as for the automatic un-installer, i think it "forgets" to uninstall the spyware
