How about if one has installed it from the binaries available at java.sun.com?
I installed java from there (not a Club member), and linked 
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to 
~/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
(it installed the binary in my home dir)
but if galeon or mozilla comes across any java it just closes (crashes).

about:plugins gives:

Installed plug-ins
Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape.com.

Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.1_01-b01

    File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in1.4.1_01
then a list of mime types (and under Enabled it says "Yes")


do i need to use a different version of java?
