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.  :-)

I would also recommend using the rpms in the future. Makes installing/uninstalling/updating much easier.

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

lsof -p XXXX where XXXX is the PID of FF and then grepping the output for "plugin".

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

My environment is Red Hat Enterprise Linux V 4.7 with FF 3.0.1 and Sun's latest java and java plugin.

You use jre1.5--- ?

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


     JDK 6 Update 7

/The Java SE Development Kit (JDK) includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and command-line development tools that are useful for developing applets and applications.

/from the SUN site.

I went through the motions, executing the ....*.rpm.bin inder /usr/java,
created symlinks (libjavaplugin_oji.so) both in ---/.mozilla/plugins and (to be sure) /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

Still no effect. And the funny thing is:
about:plugins now report this:
---------------------------------------------------------


   Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02

   File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
   Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06
------------------------------------------------------

I was expecting _07, not _07 if the last 2 digits identify the update number.

I also have:
-------------------------------------------------------------


   GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.2

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

I can't think of a reason to have both of these.

I now have only Sun's Java installed on FF 9. I "rpm -e" the open-java stuff. And both of your sites run just fine.
-- snip --

Then there should be hope for me as well. But I must admit that I have not dived into this java plugin stuff so much before, (under Fedora Core 5 it was just to enter the softlink
.._oji.so in   /home/.../.mozilla/plugins and then everyting played nicely.
So there is a lot of new stuff now that I try to bring under control.
Therefore I am compelled to ask more uninformed questions:
rpm -e ? I.e: What should I enter after the erase clause to make sure that I get it all
erased?

rpm -e java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

is all you need do.

java-1.6.0-openjdk ,jre-1.6.0-openjdk etc appears in several directories (Dolphin Find File search)
/usr/lib/jvm
/usr/lib/jvm-exports
/usr/share
I want to make sure that I know what I am doing now, which I am not sure that I do,
because there is quite a flow of details to manage.
