Java in Fedora, was:Re: Java for Yahoo Games

[Miguel Angel Morales García]

Hi.

Similar Problem affect me.... I resolved installing j2se of java.sun.com
and create a symbolic link:

 "cd ~/home/.mozilla/plugins && ln -s
usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so" 

any more.

Bye.
