Details

I visited this page and there are a couple of Java applets on this page. Hence the browser needs the JRE plug-in to make them work. I have JRE 1.3.1 installed on my machine. Given that the case I was still prompted for downloading and installing the plugin. I did that about 3 or 4 times and it doesn't think that the plug-in is installed. I was wondering if anyone else was facing this problem also. This doesn't seem to be an issue on Netscape 6.2, which was installed on my machine earlier, but I have removed it since I installed Mozilla.
i can't get java to work either for about 2+ weeks now (currently using build 2001-12-28, win98). I also redownloaded java 1.3.1 by clicking the "get Java plugin" button on a webpage. I even have a user.js setting to search for java at startup of mozilla: // search for and install JAVA on PC user_pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true); pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true);
reporter (Shriniwas Rao): suggest you add the "keywords": mozilla0.9.8, ecommerce, nsbeta1, nsbranch, regression

Reporter: Have you Npoji600.dll (NPoji610.dll with JRE1.4) in your plugins folder ? wfm with win2k build 20011227.. from the 0.9.7 release notes (BTW: always include the build ID in a bug report) If Java doesn't work, make sure the following is true: On Windows: Copy the NPOJI610.DLL from C:\JDK*\jre\bin to "\plugins" directory of your installation.
I have "NPOJI600.dll" in my \plugins folder. Still no-go :( - using build 2001-12-28, win98
Plairo: (not the reporter) Have you tried a new profile with a build that you have not installed over an older one ?
OK, I've installed 2001-12-28 to a new directory, created a new profile, deleted mozver.dat, copied all NPJava130_01(a/b/c).dll and NPOJI600.dll files to \plugins and also tried all variations in user.js: // search for and install JAVA on PC user_pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true); /-- both/either on/off pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true); \-- both/either on/off I then went here: http://javaboutique.internet.com/stats/halloffame.html and clicked on #1 ALL *without* success!!! I just get the "Click here to get the plugin" box. :(
RE my previous comment: I should have worded the below "un-/commented": // search for and install JAVA on PC user_pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true); /-- both/either *un-/commented* pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan",true); \-- both/either *un-/commented*
Matti: I didn't include the build number 0.9.7 in my bug report cause when I was entering my bug, it showed me my build id on the screen belove the textbox used to enter the bug, hence I thought it would put it for me! About installing it on new profile. This is the first build of MoZilla that I have installed on my machine and I removed the Netscape 6.2 that I had on my machine before I got it. Plus the plug-in used to work in my Netscape. Like Peter I also copied the DLL you asked me to and still no go.
shriniwas@hotmail.com: The Netscape 6.x profile isn't removed if you used the Netscape uninstaller. Please try it with a second test profile. (run "mozilla -profilemanager", create a profile "test", run mozilla with this profile and after that you can remove the profile again with the profilemanager) Do you see Java in "about:plugins" ?
Matti: Tried it with a new profile. Still the same issue. I don't see it in the about: Plug-ins page also. Hence the browser doesn't think its installed. But the install says its successful!
I am having the same problem on windows NT. I was able to get Java to work on Windows 2000, but doing the same exact things on Windows NT and it still fails.
salsa_43@yahoo.com: Are you sure you used the same build in both the cases. I logged this bug for build 0.9.7 and I am using Windows 200 Pro and I can't get it to work.
I had the same problem and have resolved it by doing the following: 1. Download and install JRE 1.3.1_02. 2. When it asks about default plugin for IE/Netscape 6, check at least Netscape 6. 3. Post-install, you will have 4 new .DLLs in your Plugin folder (NPJava11.dll, NPJava12.dll, NPJava131_02.dll, NPJava32.dll). 4. Comparing NPOJI600.dll stamps between Plugin and <JREHome>/bin, you'll note that they are different -- the JRE has NOT updated this file (I also tried with an empty Plugin directory -- it doesn't copy this file). 5. Copy the newer NPOJI600.dll into the Plugin directory. Result: Fully-functional Applet support in 0.9.7...
I reproduced this bug with 2002011103/WinXP and resolved with Rob Hannah's workaround.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
That is no workaround - it's a) a bug in the JRE installer (and a known bug - dunno the bug# at the moment) b) User error - you must use the plugin from your JRE installation Reporter: Can you fix your problem if you copy the npoji600.dll from your JRE directory ?
