Based on your feedback and another reply from Bigo, I'm convinced the
IBM plugin should work in Mozilla and also Firefox.
Now I am researching how to upgrade just the java-package from
testing. From what I've read so far, this is documented under
Keeping a Mixed System in the APT-HOWTO available on the
www.debian.org web site and probably also on your debian system. I
need the java-package from testing because it support the 1.5
version of the IBM java plugin.
Update /etc/apt/sources.list to make the contrib and non-free
packages available:
deb http://my.favorite.mirror.org/debian stable main
deb http://my.favorite.mirror.org/debian testing contrib non-free
Into the /etc/apt/apt.conf file insert the following line:
APT::Default-Release stable #use the stable "version"
Now the documentation is a little confusing because the use of
"version" as one of: stable testing un-stable, and also as a dotted
version number like 0.27! So which syntax do I use?
# apt-get install needed-package=testing
OR
# apt-get install needed-package=0.27
Another syntax may be using the -t option, but the parameter is now
called "distribution"?
# apt-get -t testing install needed-package
Almost there!

Hi!
I've successfully installed "ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz" a long
time ago
and it's got a java browser plugin, but it's still a bit buggy
because some
applets fail.
That's what I did to make the plugin work on my computer (after
installing
ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz):
1) I made a sym link from
/opt/ibm-java2-ppc-50/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
and /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
2) Then, I executed:
# update-alternatives --config java
and chose /opt/ibm-java2-ppc-50/bin/java
It works if I use Konqueror, Mozilla and Firefox, but it doesn't if
I use
Opera.
You can try to make theese steps, close the browser, and open it
again to make
it rescan de plugins and go to the java test page
(http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml) to check if it
works.
