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. Of course, besides the network option, it can also be used as a standalone HTML viewer. Included in the package: /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/en-US.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/comm.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/toolkit.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/embed.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/US.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/classic.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/modern.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/en-unix.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/en-win.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/en-mac.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/content-packs.jar /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/help.jar however, when I try to view a simple HTML page with an <applet> tag, I get the following message: "This page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can only be viewd with the appropriate Plug-In. Click OK to download Plugin." and: Java 2 Plug-in Version 1.3 Download the Java Run Time Environment (JRE) v1.3 Plug-in with Java 2 support, for your platform, either Windows or Linux. The plug-in will take approximately 19 minutes to download with a 56K modem. After the installation completes, restart the browser, then return to the page to enjoy all it has to offer. So, I am feeling a bit confused is it supported, or isn't it? Do I need this plugin? Will it even work? a few other issues I have recently encountered with Java on Debian: - isn't jdk1.1 meant to contain the nonfree Java *.jar files? I thought so... jdk doesn't seem to like the Kaffe for some unknown reason). [506] [snoopy:unstable:bam] /home/photos/java >echo $CLASSPATH /usr/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar:mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar:.

Where is the best place to get this from? -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
