That's because the java plugin for Firefox/Mozilla/etc. is actually
part of the /Java/ port:
gravitas:...ports/java/jdk14:% pkg_which
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
jdk-1.4.2p7
I agree, it is a bit arcane, but you can work out what to type by
grovelling through the contents of /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work after
you've built the port -- or you can be clever and find the places this
has been discussed on various FreeBSD mailing lists before now. This
is a good site:
