I found that I was immediately able to use the install on the included demos (ie, cd /usr/local/share/java/java3d/demo/HelloUniverse && java HelloUniverse), but nothing would run in a browser. Oddly enough something like appletviewer HelloUniverse_plugin.html worked just fine but the browser just refused to give me anything but a gray window with a small red x in the upper left corner. Omitting the agonizing details of how I discovered this (and I still don't know WHY this is so), the issue seems to revolve around the existence of the file ~/.java/deployment/log/plugin142.trace !! In short, if it exists when the browser starts no applets can be run properly in that browser (this only applies to java3d stuff). My work-around was to chmod 555 ~/.java/deployment/log so that the file couldn't be created. I don't have a clue why this is happening but I'm guessing I'm not the only one -- or has no one else tried the plugin functionality? I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE jdk-1.4.2p6_4, linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.04, java3d-1.3.1_1, javavmwrapper-1.5, and exactly the /etc/libmap.conf contents suggested by linuxpluginwrapper-20040310_1 when installed earlier. Please let me know if anyone would like any more details about my system. Sean
