The browser shows that the plugin is installed (in Tools/Addons/Plugins and in about:plugins). However, pages with applets display white space where the applet should be. The plugin verification at java.com also fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the java plugin by copying libjavaplugin_oji.so to the plugins folder 2. Go to: http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/BarChart/example1.html
"copying libjavaplugin_oji.so" Copying is wrong, you have to symlink it and in general you have to include the plugin version if you report a bug about a plugin.

It is symlinked - didn't pay attention to the difference. The above is true when I am using the java plugin from the latest Sun JDK - 1.6.0_3. If I symlink the iced-tea plugin that comes with Fedora 8 applets are started fine.
Then why are you opening a bug here instead of asking sun ?
No need to kick me when I am down :) I was just trying to be helpful.
