Just to clarify, there should be multiple directories under
${JAVA_HOME}/jre/plugin/i386 - one for Netscape 4 type browsers, one for
Netscape 6 (and earlier Mozilla,) and one for Netscape 6.10 and all
recent Mozilla. Link libjavaplugin_oji.so symbolically to the Mozilla
plugins directory as javaplugin.so if you are using debs for Mozilla (in
which case your plugin directory is probably /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins,)
or ${MOZILLA_HOME}/plugins if you are installing via the Mozilla.org
installer, and there you use the full libjavaplugin_oji.so name for the
link.
Although I'm not personally aware of the situation with Java on other
architectures, I presume that the situation is comparable there.
