[lug] adding java to mozilla on linux

[Dan Ferris]

Download java from www.java.com ( that's the one I use, it works fine).

Extract it to /usr/local (I usually use /usr/local/java)

Find the plugin that was compiled by gcc 3, the one from 2.whatever 
won't work with the latest mozilla

Make a SYMBOLIC link from the plugin to the Mozilla plugins directory.  
If you copy the plugin, it won't work.
