102608 - no Java for 0.9.4

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Olaf]

I re-installed Sun's JRE 1.3.1, but I still get no Java support; about:plugins
does not show Java plugin; with Netscape 4.77 everything is fine.

Did you copy the Java plugin into Mozilla's plugin directory?

Reporter: Have you followed the instructions in the release notes?

same here, except OS Version: fresh Win2k installation with SP2 and IE6. tested
0.9.4 with JRE
1.3.0.1 and 1.3.1, but Mozilla still displays a message "get tge plugin" when
I'm trying to load a java site :-(

Well, about 15 minutes ago I've tested Mozilla 0.9.4 with JRE 1.4 BETA2... it's
still the same problem :(
btw. Opera works fine with alle the JRE's...

followed the instructions (?) found at
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.9.4/#java

[e-mail] / Reporter:
If the automatic copy of the .DLLs fails you can copy the needed .DLLs manually in
mozilla's plugin folder.
copy C:\programs\javasoft\jre\1.3.1\bin\npoji600.dll in mozilla plugin folder.

and it's a known problem that Jre1.4 doesn't work.... (AFAIK)

Thanks for answering :)

Now I've copied the npoji600.dll to the mozilla
plugin folder, but I still get the about:plugins
error/notification... :-(

I also checked the versions of other .dll files
in the mozilla plugin folger and compared them to 
existing java .dll files located in 
$:\program files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\bin...

Although I don't really need java it would be
cool to fix this. hope there is a solution for this :)

java works now!

deleted all unused files in the plugin folger.

Now there are only four files left.. and 
java works fine! :)
