I installed Netscape 6.1 on Linux, and Java seems to not work. It used to work on Netscape 4.x. I looked in the netscape install directory:
[satyap]~$ l /14/usr2/netscape/java/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 5 5115 wheel 4096 Aug 10 10:58 classes/ drwxr-xr-x 5 5115 wheel 4096 Aug 9 22:21 classes.old/ [satyap]~$
The classes directory has several jar files and files called font-properties*
Also, the Netscape directory: [satyap]~$ ls /14/usr2/netscape/ chrome/ libgtkembedmoz.so libplds4.so regchrome component.reg libgtksuperwin.so libxpcom.so regxpcom components/ libgtkxtbin.so libxpistub.so res/ defaults/ libjsj.so mozilla-bin run-mozilla.sh icons/ libmozjs.so netscape searchplugins/ install.log libnspr4.so netscape.cfg splash.xpm java/ libnssckbi.so plugins/ systemSignature.jar libgkgfx.so libplc4.so regExport xpicleanup [satyap]~$

There are separate plugins for NS4 and NS6. In jre directory, you will find plugins. In that, there is ns4 and ns6. You know what to do. Make symlinks.

Actually, I am not a java person and have no idea what you're talking about. I suppose there's a README somewhere?

You'd need to install sun's jre. It would be where you put it.

You're Satya, with common sense. That's what it takes. Don't think java, just think program dependencies, LD_LIBR...

Oh! That's the missing link.

Apparently JRE 1.3.something was already in there; I didn't look closely enough. Anyway, this is the error I've been getting, and still am getting:
There was an error trying to initialize the HPI library. Please check your installation, HotSpot does not work correctly when installed in the JDK 1.2 Linux Production Release, or with any JDK 1.1.x release. Could not startup JVM properly! java_vm process: could not start Java VM INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from browser
[because it had crashed by this point]
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable
[Yeah, when it crashed and burned, the window was deleted]
These errors come up on the console, along with other X error messages (I'm using startx).
i started to get this strange problem from today morning only,
java was working perfectly in netscape 6.1, but suddenly, now whenever i go to any Java applets site or even site containing flash the netscape hangs ( i came to know this today when i was visiting newsforge.com on which one flash ad. was placed) any fix for this? thanks.

This is spewed to the console. My netscape windows disappear. Yes, 6.1. Has Netscape messed up?
