Short summary:
Mozilla JRE Works?
==============================================
1.2.1-2.bunk j2re1.3 YES
1.2.1-2.bunk j2re1.4 unknown
1.3-5 j2re1.3 NO
1.3-5 j2re1.4 NO
1.4-2 j2re1.3 NO
1.4-2 j2re1.4 NO
Why? And how to fix?
I am trying hard to get Java to work with Mozilla:
ii mozilla-browse 1.4-2 Mozilla Web Browser - core and browser
ii j2re1.4 1.4.0.99beta-1 Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, St
ii j2sdk1.4 1.4.0.99beta-1 Blackdown Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition
Java works, Mozilla works, but the plugin does not. j2re1.4 installs
/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so via
symlinks into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. If I start Mozilla, then
about:plugins does *not* list the plugin.
If I manually link
/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin.so into the
plugins tree, then about:plugins lists a number of MIME types for
which Blackdown is responsible, but it's missing one of the
important ones: application/x-java-vm.
I tried using j2{re,sdk}1.3 in place of the unstable 1.4 version,
but no different behaviour. Mozilla 1.3-5 exhibits the same problem.
I have another machine running older software, and it works
flawlessly there:
ii mozilla-browse 1.2.1-2.bunk Mozilla Web Browser - core and browser
ii j2re1.3 1.3.1.02b-2 Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, St
ii j2sdk1.3 1.3.1.02b-2 Blackdown Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition
What's the deal here? Has anyone gotten the Blackdown Java Plugin to
work with Mozilla 1.4?
