I went to java.sun.com and the only 'plug-in' reference I found was for WinXP, 
so I am going to make the assumption that you downloaded either a JDK or a 
JRE.  IIRC, there are three shared objects you can select from. On my 
environment (jdk1.4.2), I have: ns4, ns610 and ns610-gcc32. I believe for 
mozilla, you need to create a symlink/copy the so in the ns610-gcc32 
directory.
