The symlinked jre plugin (ver.1.4.1) isn't recognized by Mozilla. It doesn't
lead to any kind of error message - I just don't see it in the "About Plug-Ins"
list, neither can I see any java-written web page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.2b/plugins/
2.mozilla

Dmitry, I've been using mozilla nightlies with java 1.4.1 on linux for some time
now with no particular problems. Could you try the following:

1) Verify your symbolic link is correct. For example, cd to .../mozilla/plugins
and run "ls -lL *.so" or "size *.so". If the symlink is bad, you'll get an error
that libjavaplugin_oji.so doesn't exist.

2) Try the version of the plugin in the .../i386/ns600 directory.

3) Try a newer nightly. Sometimes a nightly is just broken.

Kenneth, you are right! It was probably that particular nightly's problem. I
just have downloaded the 2002101708 build, and averything was fine with the
jre-1.4.1. So you can proably close this bug.

Thanks,
Dmitry
