Use the installer provided by Sun when you download their Linux version of Java. It works great. Then just symlink the plugins according to the instructions provided by Sun.
Thanks

Subject: Mozilla crashes with Sun's Java Plugin
Hi,
anyone got Mozilla (psyche full install) to work with any of Sun's
java plugins?
I've tried j2sdk 1.3.1_04 and 1.4.1
With 1.3.1_04 the ns600 plugin crashes
With 1.4.1 both ns600 and ns610 plugin crashes
In both cases the ns4 plugin did nothing - weird since it shows up
correctly in "About Plug-ins".
The error is:
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2
<
System error?:: No such file or directory
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server :0.0.
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from browser
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable
I got this error to show up using the --g-fatal-warnings flag
Without it - no error is shown - mozilla just exits on any page
with a java applet in it.
All I do is copy the plugin file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
and I've added "/usr/local/java/bin/" to the PATH in /etc/profile
I installed the jdk manually and "/usr/local/java/bin/" is correct
for the sdk bin directory
Of course the jre bin is "/usr/local/java/jre/bin/" - tried adding
that to the front of the PATH and exporting it before running
mozilla in a terminal windows - still failed.
The "About Plug-ins" in the "Help" menu shows the java plugin
as enabled and lists lots of mime types.
I've downloaded the flash plugin and that works fine just
copying it into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ directory.
