Title: Java Runtime and Mozilla

Hi all,

I've been trying to get some Java apps to display with Mozilla but it's not happening.

The system is x86 (Dell), Red Hat 8 distro, fairly vanilla.
I've loaded the Sun Java run time (j2re-1.4.2_03-fcs as an RPM) which has installed itself OK.
Mozilla is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830, build 2002083014
And has "java enabled" in preferences.
I've added this to my .bashrc:
JAVAHOME=/usr/java
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=$JAVAHOME/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns4
export JAVAHOME
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH

These values are active:
ls $NPX_PLUGIN_PATH
libjavaplugin.so

But when I run Mozilla to look at a java application, either on this machine (in the installed samples) or a remote machine's live application,

Mozilla displays an icon like a jigsaw puzzle piece and an error popup like this:

"This page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in"

Do I have to add all the java .so's to the Mime types (if so, which ones would be appropriate?) or do I also have to install the Java compilers etc.?

Or is this version of Mozilla too old?
(The remote java app is only partially viewable in Win2k/Citrix but that's a different problem; I figured if the local application doesn't work at all then there's something I have to fix. The local (to Linux) application is the Sun Java dashboard that comes with the RPM. It should at least load something.).

Regards,

Jill.
