[NTLUG:Discuss] OT: Java question

[Stephen Davidson]

Hi Mike.

Here is some additional info;
java 2 = java 1.2
IE used to run MS Java 1.1.8 (Sun may have allowed them
to upgrade to 1.2.0).

Today JVM - 1.4.2

To install Modern JVM;
For IE - http://java.com - choose appropriate for your
system, should autoinstall modern plugin.

For Mozilla - http://mozilla.org for instructions
Summary of those instructions;
    http://java.com or http://blackdown.org (depending on your Linux kernel)
    After install, make link in your plugins directory to appropriate lib**.so in Java file.

Let me know if you need exact details, and provide gcc version and Linux kernel if you do.

Java working fine in my Mozilla 1.2, and was in 1.4 till I had to reinstall it!

Regards,
Steve
