Curious.  The libjavaplugin_oji.so link is made automatically when you
install mozilla on a machine with jdk1.3.1 already present.  You need
to go into Preferences and enable java (Duh!) and then quit and
restart Mozilla.

If you want to make sure your Java VM is working well, there's a test
suite at file:///usr/local/jdk1.3.1/demo/applets and
file:///usr/local/jdk1.3.1/demo/jfc and I always liked Greg Egan's
home page http://www.netspace.net.au/~gregegan/

	Cheers,
