work for you? does your browser (after restart) show the plugin when

The problem on my system turned out to be that
/etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so pointed at an old version of the
plugin - probably from a java-package generated version of the sun 1.5
jre that I'd previously installed. Doing "update-alternatives --auto
firefox-javaplugin.so" fixed it.
However, there is still the original problem i.e. sun-java5-plugin does
not contain the actual plugin. I realised eventually that it's actually
in the sun-java5-bin package, and all the -plugin package seems to do is
set up the relevant symlinks. This however strikes me as very wrong,
especially for the possible case of people who want a JRE, but not the
browser plugin (for some reason). I'm guessing that you're limited by
Sun's licensing terms on this one?
FYI, this is what appears to be in sun-java5-plugin (version 1.5.0-06-1)
on my system. I'm still not quite sure why it has all the plugins
directories...
