[ale] browser plugins

[jtrostel at mindspring.com (John Trostel)]

Have you recently updated your Mozilla?  I believe that 1.3.1 needs
blackdown's jre and some earlier versions need sun's jre.

This problem bit me recently and went away when I installed blackdown's
jre (in parallel with sun's) and then made the soft link to the
appropriate java lib in blackdown's directory.

in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/plugins/ I have:

javaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/local/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so

in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/plugins/ I have:

libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Notice that one is called 'javaplugin_oji.so' and the earlier (SUN) one
is called 'libjavaplugin_oji.so'
