phoenix - how to make java work?

[Sandip P Deshmukh <deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com>]

hello all

much to my deslike, several sites that i refer to, have java content.
and despite my several attempts, i have not been able to run java under
phoenix.

here is what i have done so far:

download phoenix precompiled binary tar ball and expand it in
/home/sandip

so, there is /home/sandip/phoenix/phoenix and it is executable. it runs
quite well

downloaded java binary for linux from sun's site. jre....... in my
/home/sandip

chmod a+x jre....

./jre....

renamed the folder to java. so, there is /home/sandip/java

in phoenix/plugins directory, make symlink to
/home/sandip/java/..../plugin/ns610/lib......so

yet, no effect.

any remedies please?

ns4 directory as well. still no effect!
