Java Desktop System Release 3 for the Solaris 10 Operating System Release Notes

1.7 Plugins for Mozilla 1.7

This section contains information about plugins for Mozilla 1.7.

1.7.1 Java Plugin

Java Plugin is enabled in Mozilla 1.7 by default. If Java Plugin does not work, then create a symbolic link in the /usr/sfw/lib/mozilla/plugins directory, pointing to the appropriate file shown in the following table:

Platform 

Path 

SPARC 

$JAVA_PATH/plugin/sparc/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

x86 

$JAVA_PATH/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

In the Java Desktop System Release 3, $JAVA_PATH is /usr/java/jre.


Note –

Do not copy the libjavaplugin_oji.so file instead of creating a symbolic link. A copy of the file causes Java to crash.


Install all Java plugins in the /usr/sfw/lib/mozilla/plugins directory.

1.7.2 Other Plugins
