Hi,

So apparently the latest version of Netscape7 does not longer include
the java plugin[1].  I found that the only way to make Netscape7 work
with a java plugin is to do the following:

  * install sun-jre14-2.0 from pkgsrc-wip (or using the patches
    from [2])
  * install gcc-3.3;  do set PKG_GCC3_JAVA
  * install netscape7-1
  * ln -sf=20
    /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/netscape7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so=20
    /usr/pkg/java/sun-1.4/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
  * export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D/usr/pkg/gcc-3.3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For whatever reason, using any of the other JDKs did not work for me,
only the one with the gcc-java-plugin.

Now, if somebody can tell me why konqueror can use the java plugin but
not mozilla...

This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen...
