I've been testing LiveConnect on Mozilla 0.9.5 using Sun's 1.3.1 JRE on
RedHat 7.1 Linux.  All I did to get Suns JRE installed was:

# rpm -ivv jre-1.3.1_....i386.rpm
# ln -s /usr/java/jre..../libjavaplugin.so   ..../mozilla/dist/bin/plugins

I've been using the testcases from mozilla:

http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/oji/liveconnectte
st.html

It seems as though about 7 out of the 24 test cases crash the browser.  I'm
not sure why.

Going through the release notes from 0.9.2 and on, they all basically say
the same thing about LiveConnect - that 1) it is enabled by default, 2) it
works with JRE 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 but that 3) there are known issues with it.
Checking Bugzilla there are 19 outstanding LiveConnect issues, but its hard
to say that these would cause that many test cases to crash.

I know someone who has written his own Java plugin based on MRJ and got it
working with IBM's 1.3 JRE and all 24 tests passed with flying colors.  This
tells me that the core part of the LiveConnect engine is working just fine.

Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ben
