If you have the java 1.2 installed, you can simply link the
javaplugin.so to your mozilla's plugins directory. I use the following
script for automate the process of updating the nightly and setting up
the plugins as well.

mozilla=mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
dir=`date --date=yesterday '+%Y-%m-%d'`-21-Mtrunk
url=ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/$dir/$mozilla

javaplugin=/usr/lib/j2re1.3/plugin/i386/javaplugin.so
mozplugin=$HOME/package/plugins/javaplugin.so

cd $HOME; rm -f $mozilla; wget $url;

if [ -f $HOME/$mozilla ]; then
    rm -rf $HOME/package;
    tar zxvf $mozilla;
    ln -s $javaplugin $mozplugin;
    exit 0;
fi

exit 1;

Regards,

Shao.
