Both these are made for JRE 1.4... are there major revisions in 1.5 that might

cause problems?

This works fine on FF 3.0.1 and Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_07-b06 on RHELv5. It does not work on FF 3.0.1 with:

GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.2

    File name: gcjwebplugin.so
    The GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) executes Java applets.

This is installed  -- but it does not work in your environment?
Maybe that is the problem then,...

and RHEL - Red Hat Enterprise?? What plugin does it use to execute applets?

gcjwebplugin.so does not work as hoped. This is the open source environment.

Is there something else besides gcjwebplugin.so that might help execute java applets?

I think what needs to be understood is that, at least for me, the Sun supplied java pieces work just fine with the URLs that you have listed.

Ok, that may be it. I'd better clean the PC of everything Java runtime-related, and reinstall

the programs from Sun.

Fedora 9 had Java installed ($java did execute before I started downloading anything)

I guess this is Java Development  then - since JRE was missing.

Am I then safe to assume that removal of everything under /usr/java/jre1.n... (I have both n=5 and n=6) will be enough? The libjavaplugin_oji.so is set to point to jre1.5... and I cannot remember where I got that from.

So, my procedure would be:

Delete everything below /usr/java - download jre.1.5-- from Sun and install it.

(I did also use www.java.com before)

I did not use .rpm downloads, some advice I picked up in some article I read. I have observed that the install procedure (starting the self extracting .bin file) is creating some libraries, do I have to remove these as well, or will they be overwritten? I cannot remember where they were located, perhaps yum can list then .. (that I cannot remember either, I am going to buy more memory! :-) )

I would surely buy more memory.  :-)

FWIW, you can also confirm what lib FF is referencing by doing an:

BTW: In what environment exactly did you manage to bring up the login screen?

You use jre1.5--- ?

No, I've installed Sun's jdk-1.6.0_07-fcs.

The open-java stuff does not work.

As far as I can tell you have both the open-java as well as the Sun java environments installed. It isn't clear to me what environment is being picked up by your browser.

Honestly, it is not clear to me either right now. I was not aware that this was an issue,

so I did not think about it at all.

Use the lsof to determine that.
