In Netscape, the user can view what plugins are registered with Netscape by going to Help->About Plug-ins. However with 1.4.2_04b4 JDK and Netscape 6.2.3 Solaris Sparc the 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and 1.4.2_04 plugin information is not displayed.


----------

Below is what is displayed in Netscape 6.2.3

Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-vm Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-bean Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes

This is specific to Netscape 6.2.3 as with Netscape 4.78 and 7.0, the 1.4.2_04 Mime Types are displayed:

Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-vm Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_04 Java(tm) Plug-in Yes application/x-java-bean Java(tm) Plug-in Yes

However the 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 mime types must also be enabled as they pass Mime Type tests at http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment1/mantis_ws_plugin/doc/proc/JPI_bat.html (testcase 3) and 1.4.2_04 is shown in the Java Console so it is only the information shown in Help->About Plugins that seems to have to be fixed


Steps to reproduce:
1) Install 1.4.2_04b4 JDK
2) Install Netscape 6.2.3 (can be downloaded from http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/netscape/getnetscape623.html)
3) Register Java Plugin with Netscape (instructions from java.sun.com)

Create a symbolic link to the Java Plug-in libjavaplugin_oji.so file in the Netscape 6/7 or Mozilla Plugins directory.

cd <Netscape 6/7 | Mozilla>/plugins
ln -s <JRE>/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

Be sure to include the period at the end.

4) Start Netscape 6.2.3 and go to Help->About-Plugins
5) Test Mime Types by going to http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment1/mantis_ws_plugin/doc/proc/JPI_bat.html
