Usually I install all the files in /usr/local/lib/netscape and then
put the netscape binary in /usr/local/bin. In the README for netscape it
says the following about java:
Java Applet support is available for all Unix platforms.
To run Java applets with the Java-enabled version, the Navigator
needs to be able to load Java class files from a file called
java_301. This file is included in the distribution, but must
be moved to any of these directories:
The current directory
/usr/local/netscape/java/classes
/usr/local/lib/netscape
$HOME/.netscape
To play around with 4.0 on machines I do not have root on I just run it
out of a directory in my home directory where it can load the class
library but I still have to unset my CLASSPATH environment variable to
get java to work.
This is what I do to launch netscape so java works correctly:
------------
#!/bin/sh
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/lib/netscape4/java_40
NETSCAPE=/usr/local/bin/netscape4
export CLASSPATH NETSCAPE
exec $NETSCAPE
