Here is what I have, under about:plugins I find all of the java stuff points to
IcedTea...
In the pluginreg.dat I find the path as follows:
[PLUGINS]
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update10/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so:$
And when I do a find on libjavaplugin_oji.so I get the following
./usr/java/jre1.6.0_16/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
./usr/java/jre1.6.0_16/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
This is like herding goats, each goes its own way... I guess the first thing
I need to do is remove the icedtea plugin, and I am trying to figure that one
out, in the past I just made a symlink to the directory where libjavaplug_oji.so
was located, this appears to not work and I suspect it is being overriden by
one of the above bits...
Someone mentioned a log, I have looked in the error console and see nothing
regarding java... Perhaps I need to look elsewhere??
