Currently, we only use library in ns6. So, the nsJVMConfigManager will not find out the java plugin library since there is no ns7 directory there. The fallback is needed since library in ns6 should work with current mozilla browser.

Should be ns610 in summary

really taking this one.

I am going to ask this so that I have an understanding as to whether this is a new bug or a current bug before I create a new bug report. I downloaded the SUN JVM program and installed it on my machine. I then tried to move the ns610 plugin to the mozilla plugin library. When I try to start Mozilla, I only get the starting message and then Mozilla stops running. I am currently using RH Fedora with Mozilla 1.4.1 Please respond

Louis, this is not related, use ns610-gcc32, see http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html

any update on this ? I'm really looking forward to being able to chose JRE.

This patch makes 'java on the fly' work again.

Patch will only set plugin link in <HOME>/.mozilla/plugins. So everyone can set it without problem.
