Mozilla & java config

[rch-tech]

Hey guys, I have the Java plugin that worked with Netscape and installed that. Just recently I downloaded Mozilla and hit a site that said I needed the plugin. Two questions:
1) Can I use the plugin I already have?
2) If not, how do I get it installed via Mozilla. I tried using the download plugin option that you get when Mozilla runs into a site that needs a plugin but when it tries to install after getting the plugin, it fails with no information on where the files were going etc so I can't even do "detective" work.
Any ideas?

This will work for mozilla, as well.

3. For Netscape 6 browsers: Create a symbolic link in the Netscape plugins directory

If (and only if) you are using Netscape 6, you will need to create a symbolic link in the Netscape plugins directory to the path of the libjavaplugin_oji.so file. This file is located within the Java 2 SDK at jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
cd ${NETSCAPE6}/plugins
ln -s ${JRE}/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

4. Start (or restart) your Netscape browser.

Start your Netscape browser. If your browser is already running, close it and restart it.
5. Close and restart your Netscape browser again.

Restarting the browser a second time is necessary because of bug 4358142.
