I have tried this and it does work. I installed opera from the .deb
they
provide. I then installed the jre1.3.1 into /usr/local/jre-1.3.1 and
modified the plugin section of the /usr/bin/opera script
(it is a script, not an elf) to point to the right place. I had one
problem. I didn't have the libXm.so.2 lib (the instructions say you
must install Motif) so I followed the links to www.motifzone.net and
downloaded the openmotif package for debian and the java plugin
now works.
