Java in Mozilla


By default applets won't work in mozilla 1.7.2 on my SuSe 9.2. Basically it would crib about unavailability of plugin. "application/x-java-vm"... So Googled and found the following links.
Test if Applets work in your browser http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
Then if required follow the steps ( very detailed) to install the plugin: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml

For me I have a softlink to plugin ( shared object) in:
/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins :
lrwxrwxrwx libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.5.0_11/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so


You need to login as root to install.

Enjoy chatting and applets !!
