i have the java sdk installed on my machine, which includes the runtime environment obviously. but whenever i goto a web site that has a java applet it prompts me to download the plugin and for it to install. so i download it and it says that the installation failed because of 'read only'. so i try as root, it installs fine. how do i get the other users of mozilla access to the plugin? i don't see any options within mozilla to add plugins manually. can anyone help me? thanks

How did you get it to work?
Where is Mozilla plugin directory. I have java in /usr/local. so I make a symlink for that once i am in Mozilla plugin directory?
Thanks
In SuSe 9: logged in as root
1. Java plugin for Mozilla 1,4-5 in
/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32
2. Make a symlink (easy with mc) to
/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins

Yeah, its really easy to do. Hard part is knowing what GCC your mozilla was compiled with... but that will fade out as soon as all the distros use gcc32 (do they yet?). I just wish other plugin makers would start using gcc32 as well...

Hiya
I did that at it is still not working.
I went to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
ln -s /usr/local/j2re.../bin/java - didn't help.
Or let me know what to do.
It doesn't work with firebird either. So I am not sure if I am doing right or not.
My java is in usr local.
Thanks for probably putting it in stepwise way.

This file should be linked: /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
not the directory.

Hiya
So how do I link. I go to the mozilla plugin firectory and add
ln -s (plus the fi;le you said).
Am I right?

ln -s /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Issue the commans as root when you are in the directory:
/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins
and a link should be created there (valid for SuSE 9).
