Dear friends:

Just found a perfect solution to the java problem in Mozilla .8. You
know, you install Java. You get a "Java installed successfully" message
and then when you try to launch a java applet, you get another request
to download java.

OK, I found the answer on the Mozilla Bugzilla page (indirectly through
the mozilla.general newsgroup. The exact URL and instructions
(originally for Mozilla .8 on Red Hat 6.1) are:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=25511

I just tried the "Hello World" Java applet test and it works
beautifully. The URL for the Hello World test is:

http://www.student.oulu.fi/~sairwas/object-test/java/test4.html

You can also type "java applet test" in the Google search engine and
come up with dozens more java test sites.

Here are Doug's instructions as presented on the Bugzilla page:

BEGIN

I managed to get the Netscape Java plugin to work in Mozilla 0.8 on my
RedHat 6.1 box using the previous suggestions, but with a slight twist:

I needed to link to libXt.so.6, but I had to change the name to end in
.so:

# cd /usr/local/mozilla
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 libXt.so

After downloading the Netscape java plugin, it was necessary
to link to the plugin shared lib from the plugins directory:

# cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
# ln -s java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
libjavaplugin_oji.so

Hope this helps,
Doug

END

Please make sure that you substitute your OWN Java path for the one
described by Doug.
