I am not able to run Java Console from Netscape 4.7 on Linux Mandrake 7.2,
after installing Sun JDK 1.3.
Sun gives the following instructions to install JRE plugin, included in JDK
1.3, for Netscape :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
The Java Plug-in product is included in J2SE 1.3.0. To install the Java
Plug-in follow these steps.
1. Uninstall previous installation of the Java Plug-in, if applicable.
rm -fr $HOME/.netscape/java
rm $HOME/.netscape/plugins/javaplugin.so
2. Set the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable:
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=<jre>/plugin/i386
Here, <jre> is the path to the jre directory inside your installation of the
Java 2 SDK.
3. Start (or restart) your Netscape browser.
Start your Netscape browser. If your browser is already running, close it
and restart it.
4. Close and restart your Netscape browser again.
Restarting the browser a second time is necessary because of bug 43 58142.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
1) I first edited by .bashrc file and set the variable NPX_PLUGIN_PATH and
then relogged into KDE.
On logging-in again I started, exited and then started Netscape again. On
selecting 'Show Java Console',
from the Netscape Menu, it displayed ' Netscape Java 1.1.15 Java
Console'.
2) Thereafter I deleted /usr/lib/netscape/java directory. After which on
again starting, exiting and restarting Nestscape and
seleting 'Show Java COnsole', it displayed the message 'java40.jar' not
found in classpath, currect classpath is
/usr/local/jdk1.3/jre/bin/plugin/i386/javaplugin.so (which was the path I
gave to NPX_PLUGIN_PATH) and thus Java COnsole
was not displayed.
Has somebody installed JRE plugin 1.3.0 on Netscape 4.7 on linux and can
share his experience.
Regards,
GP
