Write a shell script to launch netscape, instead of calling it directly.
In the script, you can set your CLASSPATH as needed, including
java40.jar.

Subject: How to get Netscape 4 working Swing and JMF Applets?
I am trying to get Netscape to work with Swing and JMF. What is written in
the README file does not work at all.
Java Applet Support:
Java Applet support is available for all Unix platforms.
To run Java applets with the Java-enabled version, Communicator
needs to be able to load Java class files from a file called
java40.jar. This file is included in the distribution, and is
searched for using the following algorithm:
if($CLASSPATH environment variable is set)
Look at $CLASSPATH, where $CLASSPATH is a
colon-delimited list of <path>/<jar-file> entries.
else
Search in order:
<program directory>
$MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes
$HOME/.netscape
/usr/local/netscape/java/classes
/usr/local/lib/netscape
The only way to get Java Applets to work in Netscape 4.5 is to unset
CLASSPATH env variable. How can I then make the browser find the Swing/JFC
and JMF (or any other 3rd party) jar files then ?
