Details

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Mozilla - any setup type
2. go to url above, then applets and try to run applet
3. user is prompted to get the plugin, click on puzzle piece
4. download and install java plugin
5. close browser and relaunch
6. return to step 2 and try to run applet again

actual results: puzzle piece appears prompting to get plugin again
no copies of java plugins are copied to N6 plugins directory

expected results: plugins copied to N6 and able to run applet

(see bug 100580 for other comments)
correction- this is Mozilla problem only- commercial installer DOES copy plugins 
properly

great ... so, this is not an 094 stopper then?
That is correct.  This does not affect 0.9.4.  This is a mozilla only problem.

Also a more direct url to test with is:
 
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/windows/win32/smartupdate/jre.x
pi:
wait, is there a change the user can stub install without Java, go to the JRE
download site, attempt the install, and fail?

Syd,
Yes, Java does not install with any Mozilla setup types so user is forced to 
download the plugin.   The download can be successful (and if no Java on system, 
it will download that too) but plugins not copied to ~\installdir\plugins\ 
They have to be copied in by the user.
This needs to be reassigned to Sun. Apparently at some point they changed their
install to pick up N6-only registry keys instead of the common ones. If they're
going to change their installer to fix this they should use the newer embedding
keys common to all Gecko-based clients.
I tried copying the specified files of different versions of jre (1.3.0_1,
1.3.1, 1.3.1_1) in the /plugins dir, but still no results...
Win95 osr2
Mozilla 0.9.5 Build: 2001101117 (same problem with 0.9.4)No poblems with Opera &
NS4.78
Sorry, wrong path... Now it works...
Release notes for Mozilla 0.9.5 state what has to be done in order to run Java.

I sent Sun this bug's URL through its feedback page so they could take a look at 
it. If anything, it should 'officially' be reassigned by Mozilla (Or Netscape?).

dup of 100393
Yes, this should be a duplicate of 100393, which is also about downloading JRE
for mozilla on Windows.
