(Whiteboard: [PDT+]w/b minus on 03/03- waiting update from Stanley; current estimate is 2/24-2/29 ETA, Waiting to get access to installer to test.)

Build:   2000011108 on Windows
              JRE 1.3


Steps:
1. Removed Seamonkey and JRE 1.3 from PC
2. Installed Seamonkey and JRE 1.3
3 Rebooted PC
4. The plugins folder was created and the java dll were copied to the plugins folder
5. Loaded the url http://www.javasoft.com/applets/other/Bubbles/index.html
6. Applet does not load.  Java is not enabled.

Expected - the Java applet to load

Actual - Java applet does not load

This particular bug is related to Windows.

This what happens after bug # 21943 was fixed.
Added Eric to the cc list.
Target Milestone: M13
We need this fixed ASAP.  Putting on M13 radar.
This might have some relationship to the following changes, or it might not.
FYI, bug #21943 has been fixed, so a plugins directory is now being created by
the installer.

The existing plugin search logic searches only in the Mozilla plugins directory
if one exists; if one is not found, it falls back to the Nav4 plugins directory.
av will fix open bug #21938 for M13 so the logic will *first* check the Mozilla
plugins directory if it exists, and if not (or the plug-in is not found there)
then fall back to checking the Nav4 plugins directory.

However, the Mozilla plugins directory is the only place you would expect to
find the OJI plug-in stub anyway, so this bug is probably an independent problem
in which the OJI stub isn't being detected for some reason. Adding av to cc:
list to be safe.
Target Milestone: M13 → M14
move to m14. let me know if fixes are available. thx.
Nominating for official beta1 consideration. If Java does not work in Beta 1, it 
will be bad for Sun, Netscape, and Java.
Keywords: beta1
*** Bug 21757 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I don't see java start or applets run after selecting java in
the commercial build installer on the 2/1/00 win32 builds.
Chris this has been broken for a while in M13.  Waiting for a new JRE 1.3.  ed.burns@SUN.Com will is sent a testing version but I was 
unable to downlown it.  
Putting on PDT+ radar for beta1.
Whiteboard: [PDT+]
Summary: [Beta1] Java is not enabled after installation → Java is not enabled after installation
This bug depends on 26875.
Depends on: 26875
Updating the bug dependency on this one, since bug # 26875 was marked as a
duplicate of bug 27486.  The current milestone for fixing 27486 is M15, which
would prevent this bug from being fixed in M14.
Depends on: 27486
No longer depends on: 26875
Adding Ed Burns to the CC list on this one, for verification 
when Java Plug-In is claimed to work.
Since we seem to be using this bug as a [META] tracking bug for "what we have to 
do to get Java working again," adding dependencies on bug 27755, bug 27462, and 
bug 27763. 
Depends on: 27462, 27755, 27763
Whiteboard: [PDT+] → [PDT+] Awaiting update from Stanley; current estimate is 2/24-2/29 ETA
Must fix by 03/03 or will not make the beta1 train.
Whiteboard: [PDT+] Awaiting update from Stanley; current estimate is 2/24-2/29 ETA → [PDT+] Must fix 03/03- waiting update from Stanley; current estimate is 2/24-2/29 ETA
Whiteboard: [PDT+] Must fix 03/03- waiting update from Stanley; current estimate is 2/24-2/29 ETA → [PDT+]w/b minus on 03/03- waiting update from Stanley; current estimate is 2/24-2/29 ETA
This bug still depends on 27462, 27486, 27755, 27763. However, I have put in 
several workaround in Java Plug-in code, so at least the applets will start up 
with M14. 
I can test this tommorow, hopefully.

Actually, I can't test it since I don't have access to the installer.  Is the 
installer you mention part of SeaMonkey? Is it possible for me to build the 
installer without too much work so I can test it?

After building mozilla code from 5pm on 02/24/00 with MOZ_DEBUG=1, I observe 
the same behavior as in 27486.

Adding michaell, PM for Installer, to cc: list. Michael, how can we enable Sun 
to test the Installer's behavior in a timely way when they change their code?
I installed Java in today's build (2000022708 - build numbers are still screwed
up, this was on 3/1), and I went to several pages with applets including
games.yahoo.com and the reference page for this bug.  Worked for me.

Can we call this one fixed?
I confirm that I too can get applets to work.  I concurr with michaell.

I'm Calling it fixed.

Here are the steps I took to test that it was fixed:

02 March 00

Here are the steps I took to enable the viewing of applets in mozilla.

STEP 8 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, and UNUSUAL step.

1. Check tinderbox to see that it's green for win32 clobber

2. Checkout SeaMonkey at around 11:30am on 02 March 2000

3. Built Mozilla with MOZ_DEBUG=1

4. Used the WINNT Add/Remove programs feature to remove any JRE and JDK
   instance I had installed on my machine.  Then I rebooted.

5. Used a find command to make sure there were no instances of any of
   the following files on my C: drive:

   jpins32.dll
   npjava*.dll
   jpishare.dll
   jaws.jar

   This step is also intended to catch the case where you have Netscape
   Navigator 4.x with the Java plugin installed, which I don't.  If you
   do, you must make sure that you don't have the plugin installed.

6. Downloaded the JRE Release Candidate (RC) 1 release by visiting:

   http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/j2sdk13/
  
   And choosing the "One large bundle" option under the heading

     Internationalized version of Java 2 Runtime Environment 

7. Ran the installer exe.

8. Unzipped George's zip file on top of the install location, which for
   me was C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3 .

9. Copied C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\bin\npjava*.* to my mozilla
   plugins directory, which is:

   D:\Projects\mozilla\dist\WIN32_D.OBJ\bin\plugins

10. Ran 

   D:\Projects\mozilla\dist\WIN32_D.OBJ\bin\mozilla.exe

After doing the profile manager dance, I was able to view applets
without java-related crashes.

I can confirm as well, on Win98.  I just completed a build (did a pull around
11:30AM today, just finished building) and applets work.
So, just out of curiosity, how come this is working for me without going through
the profile dance?

Now works with the patch applied.
By "profile dance" I'm referring to the fact that MOZ_DEBUG=1 builds force one 
to use the mozilla profile manager.  If you built without MOZ_DEBUG=1, then you 
only have to do the profile dance if you removed your mozregistry.dat file and 
then restarted mozilla.

Verified in the 2000030609 build.
