So, you actually created ibm-j2re1.5, right? If not, at least file a bugreport (see the package reportbug) with severity wishlist against java-package to tell them what your problem is. > So, if I install my ibm-j2re1.4 package I created, then after I > install Opera I should have a browser that supports java applets? I don't know anything about how Opera works with Java, but I'd guess that if the IBM jre 1.5 has the proper plugin, why exactly couldn't you use, say, Firefox? Different ABI's? > I need a browser that will work with most commercial sites in the US. > They seems to be IE specific and are picky about others. If you actually end up installing Opera, be sure to change its default identification from IE to Opera, so that the commercial sites you are using actually know that their customers happen to exercise their right to choose. And keeping an eye on the Free Java implementations isn't a bad thing also. They're evolving quite fast lately.
