java and mozilla-0.9
Juergen Scholich
until now, I have no success in using jre.xpi unter mozilla-0.9.
I扉e tried it with the jre.xpi from ns6.0 and ns6.01, and with the
automaticly installed.
After the installed jre, the browser hangs while resolving names.
(the same one, that where found without problems before the
jre-install).
Please, can I kindly sol point me into the right direction.
Cheers,
Juergen

As mentioned below, do this in Redhat 7.1 :
$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

hihihi
Thanks, it did the trick :-)
But won't it harm other progs ?
Assuming that it is kernel 2.2.5 sounds as if other progs won't like
it..
(what do i know :-) )

So maybe it will harm other programmes, but it should be only temp. until
a new java is ready.

I'm running:
RH7.1
Mozilla .92 (build 2001062823)
J2SEv1.3.1
I can't get the jave plugin from the jre of J2SE to show up in the
Help:About_Plugins window. The *.so in the ns4 directory works fine
with netscape 4.76. The java demos work fine.
What am I missing?

Don't use the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL if you're running 1.3.1. It's not going
to work. As for the JVM I've been using it and it seems to work fine
for me.

I tried different jre versions (the SUN and IBM ones),the symlinks are
OK, the plugins all show up in the "about:plugins" section, but they
won't work for 1 centimeter (if I may say so...).
The result remains that the browser freezes when stumbling upon a java
applett.
Funny thing is, though, when I use the Mozilla version 0.7 that comes
with the RedHat 7.1 distro, it works.
But I WOULD love to use 0.9.x, 'cause apart from this java annoyance,
Moz 0.9.x is far better.

Some people DO seem to have this working.

No question, Moz 0.9.2 is faster and more stable than older versions.

It is possible to get Java working in Mozilla 0.9.x so
don't give up. DO give up on the software installation
feature in Mozilla. It has been broken since Mozilla
0.8 and seems to have been disabled in 0.9.x
I unzipped jre.xpi into /usr/local/java2/ then made a
symlink from libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/local/java2/jre-image-i386/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
in the Mozilla plug-ins directory mozilla/plugins/
I installed mozilla in my home directory /home/skelton/
cd /home/skelton/mozilla/plugins/
ln -s <path to plugin> libjavaplugin_oji.so
In my case:
ln -s /usr/local/java2/jre-image-i386/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
Sorry about the long line. Your newsreader will probably line-wrap it.
Help : About Plug-ins shows:
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.3.0_01
I have used this plug-in with 0.9.2, 0.9.1, 0.9.0 and several older
versions.
Newzilla have a web page dedicated to this problem.

HTH. Good Luck.

I know. I've had it working with previous versions...

That /seems/ to be OK here (after a quick test using my private server).
However, despite my having unpacked jre.xpi and made the appropriate
symlinks, it still isn't working.

Sad to Report, still no luck getting mozilla 0.9.2 to see my J2SE
v1.3.1 java plugin. This is with rh7.1 and kde
Is there a logging/debugging setting that I can use to see what is (or
is not) going on when mozilla starts. I've tried setting
NSPR_LOG_MODULE=all:5 (forgotten exact variable name) but I didn't
know what I was looking for in this very verbose output - nothing
looked like it was accepting or rejecting the plugin.
Thanks,
Warren

I've finally been able to see the java plugin in the about:plugins
window and use it.
I am rh7.1, mozilla 0.9.2, whatever version of kde comes with rh7.1,
ksh
(400 MHZ celeron, 192 MB ram)
There are two separate problems: mozilla seeing the plugin and mozilla
using the plugin.
1. Need a symlink in <moz_dir>/plugins to the plugin in jre (J2SE,
for me)
-- everybody knows that 8^)
2. Need a symlink in <moz_dir>, called libXt.so, to libXt.so.6 in X11
directory
-- WHY??? this was the missing piece, although several folks had
-- suggested it. This is what caused the plugin(s) to appear in
the
-- about:plugins window
3. Need to set (export) LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
-- this is what allowed mozilla to not be blown away by by a page
with
-- an applet on it. This step had also been suggested by several
folks
Are these links required because of shortcomings in mozilla or in J2SE
jre?
Or both?
Hope this helps.

Debian potato/security/testing here.

Got that...

I've just tried that; it doesn't help, at least not on its own. However,
'ldd libjavaplugin_oji.so' reports that libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 isn't found.
One symlink later (to libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3) and the Java plugin now
appears in about:plugins.

Got that, but... <bang>.
AFAICS, without that line, it works; with libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 (from Debian
potato CD 2) it works, with or without that line. For a slightly loose
definition of "works".
Now if I had source for the JRE, I'd definitely be compiling it for what's
currently in testing... I've seen mention of 1.3.1...
