If you install any of java/jdk13 java/jdk14 java/diablo-jre13 or java/diablo-jdk13 you will find at least: ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji_g.so [The latest jdk14 port also has: ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/plugin/i386/ns610_g/libjavaplugin_oji_g.so ] Choose which JDK/JRE you want, and whichever version of the plugin you prefer -- the '_g' suffix means unstripped, debug code included -- and make a sym-link to it from /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins: # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins # ln -s ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so . (Note that the java/jdk13 and java/jdk14 ports require you to jump through hoops in order to download the source code in order to comply with Sun's licensing terms. They're also fairly huge compilation jobs to install them.) If you install or re-install mozilla and you have the java/jdk13 port already installed it will create such a symlink automatically. Anyhow, fire up mozilla and check that it has registered the plugin using the 'about:plugins' URL.
