Plugin does not create the jre/lib/ext directory for copying extensions.

Name: skT45625 Date: 11/21/2000


java version "1.3.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed mode)

The 1.3.0_01 install does not create a jre/lib/ext directory by default. The
plugin, when it tries to save an extension jar, receives a
FileNotFoundException. If the directpry exists, the install works.

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/export/home/jeffh/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/lib/ext/javahelp.jar (No such
file or directory)
