Installing the Java 1.3.1 Plugin for Netscape under Tru64
Requirements:
Netscape version 4.76 or above.
Instructions:
The details of installing the plugin and configuring the system are documented on the Tru64 website. Here are the highlights:
- Download Java version 1.3.1
- Install the kit.
Important: be sure to install the development environment (JAVADEV131) as well as the mandatory subset.
- Modify the environment to allow Netscape to see the plugin.
If using the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH variable, make sure it is available to desktop applications. Set and export the variable in the .dtprofile file found in the user's home directory:
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/opt/java131/jre/plugin/alpha/ns4
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH
It appears that SSL does not work correctly with the original Java VM. Be sure not to set the JAVA_PLUGIN_CLASSIC_VM in the Tru64 environment.
