ho, you can download j2sdk1.3 (for example) at blackdown.org. For me this works fine and also the plugin for mozilla (depends on mozilla-version, some like java and some do not). You should have java-common and gsfonts-X11 installed for the .deb. Just make a link from /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/jre/plugins/i386/javaplugin.so to your mozilla/plugins directory and most applications should work fine.
I've seen the javaplugins of Netscape6.1 and IBM working with mozilla too, if you prefer one of those. hth -- marc On Tue, Sep 11, 2001 at 09:02:46PM +1000, Brian May wrote: > Hello, > > Does Mozilla support Java or does it not? > > >From the description: > > Mozilla is a sophisticated graphical World-Wide-Web browser, with a > large number of various browser features like support for HTML 4.0, > CSS 2, JavaScript and Java.
