Installing Mozilla Firefox Java plugin on Linux

Here is the document I used for installing Mozilla Firefox Java plugin on Linux.

http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/firefox-linux.html

On my Linux box, the plugins directory does not exist. So I have to create a new one first. Here is the sequence.

------------------------------
[yuz@localhost .mozilla]$ mkdir plugins
[yuz@localhost plugins]$ pwd
/home/yuz/.mozilla/plugins
[yuz@localhost plugins]$ ln -s /home/yuz/jdk1.5.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so
[yuz@localhost plugins]$ ls
libjavaplugin_oji.so
[yuz@localhost plugins]$
------------------------------

Then I added the following lines to my .bash_profile
------------------------------
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.mozilla/plugins
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
------------------------------

Log off and log on again, start the firefox, and I can run the java applet on linux!
