I have the usual symlink to the Java plugin in my home directory.
About:plugins reports the plugin as present, but when I go to a page with an
applet in I get the jigsaw piece where the applet should be.
Worse, if I delete pluginreg.dat and then restart the plugin no longer appears
in the list of available plugins!
This is RH 8.0 with JDK 1.4.1_02 (JDK version doesn't seem to make any
difference) and Moz installed from the RPMs. There is no error output. Things
were working fine with 1.3b.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page with an applet in
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Bugger all

Expected Results:  
I should have the applet!
I'm having trouble here too. The symlink is on the plugins lib and it was
working ok with 1.3a. Now no chance to make Java works. RH 8.0 and JDK 1.4.1-b21
here.
I should mention that other plugins work fine.
Component: Java APIs for DOM → Java to XPCOM Bridge
The RPMs are now compiled with GCC3.2 instead of 2.95 (1.3a)
You MUST use a JRE that is also compiled with GCC3.2.
AFAIK Blackdown.org released a GCC3.2 compiled JRE

-> invalid (no bug)

You're kidding, right? Sun JDK is no longer supported under RH??
Sorry, but this is a DEFECT, unless somebody can give me a workaround to get my
install working with the official JDK.
And if the answer is "use Netscape", I don't want to hear it!

Things are moving to gcc3.  Binary compatibility is not preserved across that
switch.  If you want to use the Sun plugin, don't use the RPMs (the tarballs are
still compiled with the old gcc compiler, and are (IIRC) around 10% slower
because of it).  If you want to use the RPMs, get the Blackdown plugin.  (Sun
should have released a gcc3-compiled version of the plugin long ago, if you ask
me, but blackdown finally beat them to it.)

AFAIk SUN will Release a GCC3.2 JRE 1.4.1_02 in the near future
