Hi, i think it is usefull to build a peudo ebuild which create a symlink to javapugin for firefox. After creating this symlink you have java runing with firefox. example: ln -s /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.02/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so will work for me. other idea ist to set this symlink automaticly when java is USE for firefox. Think about it ;-) Sonic Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This doesn't work. As soon as you update Java, the symlink is dead. The mozilla-launcher script could do this, though.
this should be handled by java package weather it be blackdown-jre or blackdown-jdk even sun builds should link the plugin with nsplugin or nsbrowser which is loaded from /usr/lib{32|64}/nsbrowser/nsplugin.
That's what USE=nsplugin in java-* ebuilds is for.
