Just use the BSD version out of the ports collection. Both 3.0 and 3.01b1
are in there. Netscape 3.0 and higher support applets under BSD, but
there is a problem with the font dir that you need to take care of. The
port will tell you to do this:
Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir
chmod 444 fonts.dir
And then exit and restart your X server.
(you don't really need to restart the X server, just type:
"xset fp rehash")
