231627 - mozilla 1.5 and mozilla 1.6 fails to startup after blackdown java plugin is linked

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231624

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[olivier at mozilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

This works in Mozilla 1.5 (Linux RH 8), same plugin from http://www.blackdown.org
plugin version used is: j2re1.4.2
this fails in Mozilla 1.6 (Linux RH 9) after same plugin is linked, the
mozilla browser will no longer start-up,
printing:
"
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
 
System error?:: Success
"

Notes: mozilla 1.6 installation was made using tar.gz from indiana u (us)
mirror site on top of an unchanged RH 9 Linux installation.
Without the plugin in place the browser 1.6 works fine.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install mozilla 1.6 from mozilla.org
2. install j2re1.4.2 from blackdown.org
3. link plugin as follows (per blackdown doc) ~ for /usr/local for example:
ln -s ~/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/mozilla/plugins
4. start mozilla 1.6

Actual Results:  
Mozilla will not start-up:

"
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
 
System error?:: Success
"


Expected Results:  
Start-up browser window as it does with mozilla 1.5 (test was based on Linux RH
8.0 version)

On RH 9 installation tested this fails with mozilla 1.5
but works with installed version original mozilla 1.2.1
sorry for the confusion, there is a difference between RH8
and RH9 behavior regarding mozilla 1.5 and 1.6.
