See if you can find the plugin shared library in the java port (IIRC, its name is libjavaplugin_oji.so) and stick that in firefox' plugin directory. HTH, Roland -- R.F.

I have /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/java and it changes with the version. That is what I add in mozilla.

Firefox, java, plugins - need to go back to the port?
I installed firefox from the packages, and now that it seems like I may have Java installed, I'd like to get the two to play together. I see a few different firefox plugins in /usr/ports/www, but no java, and I don't see any references to firefox or plugs in /usr/ports/java - clearly, I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. All my hits on google have talked about rebuilding the port after Java is installed. Is that what I have to do? Is there no way to get a java plugin without rebuilding the whole port?
