94533 - Java plugin is installed but not recognized

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 93718

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Per Olofsson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010807
BuildID:    2001080723

JRE 1.3.1 is installed and working:

malachai(183)> java -version
java version "1.3.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_02, mixed mode)

The java plugin is linked into mozilla/plugins:

about:plugins only displays flash, realplayer and libnull. Trying to view a page
with a java applet brings up the download plugin dialog. Other plugins work just
fine, and the JRE works fine by itself.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd <mozilla>/mozilla/plugins
2. ln -s <jre>/plugin/sparc/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
3. about:plugins


Actual Results:  Java plugin doesnt show up

I am having the exact same problem.  Mozilla 0.9.2 works, 0.9.3 does not
recognize that the java plugin

Shockwave works just fine on 0.9.3 as on 0.9.2.

It should be noted that this didn't work for me in any of the 0.9.x releases,
it's been like this for a long time.

Java is not recognized also in my linux red hat 7.1 by mozilla from version 8.0 
( the first i have used ).
The plugin result correctly in the plugin directory.
Netscape 6.1 hangs while trying to disply a page containing java code.

netscape 4.77 is the only browser i can use to see java !

i think the problem is common between 6.1 ( and 6.1 pr ) and mozilla from 8.0

I think this is a dup of bug 93718: java plugin not found
