Problems with Java in Linux

[Paul G. Allen]

I've tried both Sun's JDK and IBM's (currently I have IBM's installed). I 
use Mozilla 1.7.5 (I was using 1.4.3, but that didn't work right either). 
Everything was fine before I went from RH 9 to RHEL WS . During that 
transition, Mozilla was upgraded from whatever RH 9 had to whatever RHEL WS 
came with, and of course the JDK that I had installed (IBM 1.4.2) was nuked 
and I had to install a new JDK.

I use Mozilla in W2K as well (same laptop).
Under Linux I can run Java applications, I can develop Java applications, I 
can compile Java applications and Java applets, but I can't run a Java 
applet. Under Windows I can develop, run, and compile Java applications, I 
can run a Java applet, but I can't develop or compile a Java applet. Java 
plugins for Mozilla either crash the browser completely, or the browser 
says I don't have a plugin for application/x-java-vm.

Has anyone else had problems like this? Did you fix them and how?
