Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java-Implemented Plugins, defect)

Description

[n0thing]

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002031104

I have jre 1.4 installed on my computer, and would like to use Java with
mozilla, but when it comes to a java applet, it asks me to download jre 1.3  I
have done this in the past when I haven't already downloaded Java and it
continues to ask me to download it each time I visit a location with a java
applet.  I have similar problems getting java to work in the Linux version of
mozilla too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install mozilla
2.go to a web page with a Java applet
3.

Actual Results:  asks me to download a plugin...I downloaded it for the sake of
trying, installed it "successfully" and then had it request me to download it again.

Expected Results:  should have had the java plugin working from the beginning
and just loaded the applet

Reporter: is NPOJI610.DLL in your Mozilla plugins directory?

If it isn't, copy it to there.

Reporter, you need in your plugin-folder after installation of JAFA1.4:
Sun Java Plugin installieren. Aktuell ist Version 1.4. (copy from 
C:\Programme\Java\j2re1.4.0
NPJPI140.dll
NPJava32.dll
NPJava13.dll
NPJava12.dll
NPJava11.dll
NPOJI610.dll

Other way (not possible for all OS:)
add in user.js:
user_pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true);
(mozilla will look for JAVA itself)

In Linux:
make softlink:
ln -s /plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to
/usr/java/j*/jre/plugins/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 

These hints are from http://www.hmetzger.de/tips6/Java_in_Mozilla.html
and worked for me.

Reporter, see comment 1.  In win98, copying NPOJI610.DLL from
c:\jdk1.4.0\jre\bin to C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\Plugins makes things
work fine.  I also followed the suggestion in Comment 3 and put a line in prefs.js:
user_pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true);
but I don't know if that had any effect.  Please report back on whether this
fixes the problem so that we may confirm or close this bug as may be
appropriate.  Thanks!
