As far as i know this problem has to do with incompatibilities between the Sun (Forte) c++ and g++. The supplied plugin is compiled with the Sun c++. It does not like a g++ compiled mozilla. So, given that this is true, there are two possibilities: Get the sources for the Java PlugIn (i know they are available somewhere) and compile them with gcc - or get the Sun tools and compile mozilla with the Forte tools that are available at no cost on the OpenSolaris site somewhere. I already have to compile mozilla under Solaris 8 and use --ignoreos to install them on Solaris 10 because of the binutils misery, so i would not care about this additional quirk. It would be _really_ nice if someone could solve this :) It's on my list, but my list is loooong.
