Using Java Console with FireFox 3 and Java 1.5

[Joe Riel <joer@san.rr.com>]

Is there a way to enable the Java Console in FireFox (iceweasel) 3.0 
with Java 1.5?  Previously I was able to use the Open Java Console 
add-on (the "regular" Java Console did not work with versions of Firefox 
greater than 2.0. 

I know almost nothing about java, but occasionally need to look at the 
console to debug problems when java doesn't work.
