Getting linux-mozilla and java to work is always a bit tricky:
I have got
linux-mozilla1.5rc2
linux_base-8.0_1
linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.01
and use the plugin found in
.../jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
This also works with
linux-realplayer, acroread-5 and linux-flash plugins.
Good Luck!
Uli.
