Java and Iceweasel

| I want to install plugin Java in Iceweasel (Debian 4.0r1)
Step 1: I downloaded Java from the SUN website and installed it in /usrjava/
Step 2 : For the configuration I had to follow:
****************************************
****************************************
*****
Mozilla 1.4 and later
1. Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Mozilla installation
directory :-(
cd <Mozilla installation directory>/plugins
2. In the current directory, create a symbolic link to the JRE
ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so file Type:
ln -s <JRE installation
directory>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Example:
* If Mozilla is installed in this directory:
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/
* and if the JRE is installed at this directory:
/usr/java/jre1.5.0
* Then type at the terminal to go to the browser plug-in
directory:
cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins
* Enter the following command to create a symbolic link to the
Java Plug-in for the Mozilla browser.
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7
/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
3. Start Mozilla browser or restart it if it is already running. Note
that if you have other Mozilla components (ie: Messenger, Composer, etc)
running, you will need to restart them as well.
4. Go to Edit > Preferences. Under Advanced category > Select Enable Java

Q: Which directory is the plugin directory for Icewaesel (Mozilla 5.0) to
put the symbolic link ?
I found these (and more):
/usr/share/iceweasel/chrome/classic/skin/classic/mozapps/plugins
/usr/share/iceweasel/chrome/en-US/locale/en-US/mozapps/plugins
/usr/share/iceweasel/chrome/toolkit/content/mozapps/plugins
......................................

Tnx

I installed the link in: /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins :
asterisk:/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins#
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
asterisk:/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins# ls -l
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 2007-09-27 15:31
libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9044 2007-08-01 07:54 libunixprintplugin.so
asterisk:/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins#
But Java doesn't seem to be working..
On the Java page
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml I click the
VERIFY INSTALLATION button.
But it can't find Java

Henk, I think you're working too hard. Extract the files and install those
useful to you, for your user only, in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/.
I have
..mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt and
..mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
However, if you search in Synaptic for "jre" you'll have an opportunity to
install Sun's Java. And, if you enter "Java" in Synaptic you'll see other
choices. Plus, I think GIJ is installed by default. Also, you can add
flashplugin-nonfree from Adobe. Of course, that all will depend
upon how your repositories are set up:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

The only way to make Windows "secure":
1) go to http://goodbye-microsoft.com
2) replace existing operating system.

/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins worked for me with flash 9
