Linux-firefox and Java

In order to have Java support with the linux-firefox applications:

# cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk15/

Fetch the JDK as mentionned in the result of a "make install" execution.

Copy the JDK to the /usr/ports/distfiles

# make install

# ln -s /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/plugins/

And now it should work. Just check that the Java plugin is enabled by typing "about:plugins" in the address bar of Firefox.
