Build : PIT (03/11/02)
Browser : NS 4.x
OS : Solaris Sparc

Steps to Reproduce :

1.) Install the JRE 1.4.1 from the following location
/net/sqesvr/deployment3/hopper/2002-03-11/solaris-sparc

2.) Create a symbolic link for javaplugin.so in the netscape/plugin folder to register the plugin with browser
eg:
ns4.x/plugins/javaplugin.so -> /home/sm110147/PIT02/j2re1.4.1/plugin/sparc/ns4/javaplugin.so

3.) Invoke the netscape browser and load any applet

Result : It would throw the following error
Error : java_vm failed : Plugin is not enabled or java_vm has died

Note : It works fine when NPX_PLUGIN_PATH is been used
