I'm a long-time user of Seamonkey, from since it was called Mozilla.
The  recent 2.1 and 2.2 updates seem to have broken Java support on my  Centos 
5.5 box (32 bits) and I really can't figure this out.
Seamonkey is installed in /usr/local.
Starting  from 2.1, the /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins directory is gone. As per  
the release notes, plugins are now managed on a per-user basis in  
$HOME/.mozilla/plugins
So far, so good. I used to have a link in  /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins 
pointing 

to  /usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so (I install  
Sun's JREs in /usr/local too... it shows my BSD background I guess  )
So I moved that link to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins but now about :plugins doesn't 
show any Java plugin detected.
Worse, $HOME/.mozilla/seamonkey/<profile name>.default/pluginreg.dat shows that 
the plugin is rejected. It contains:
[INVALID]
/usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so:$
1232187965000:$

I've tried with the "new" plugin found in 
/usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so too. Doesn't work either.

I  vaguely suspect that there might be a shared library issue with the  newest 
Seamonkey binaries and Centos 5.5, but then every other plugin  works OK, 
including Flash, Acrobat and all. So what's the issue with the Java  plugin? 
There's no error when I start Seamonkey from a terminal window.

Any help greatly appreciated, I must not be the only Seamonkey user on Centos 
5.5, or so I hope 

Thanks for your time,
_Alain_
