For all those still struggling, I finally got mozilla 1.1 to work with flash and java plugins. Here are my steps:
1. Remove openmotif and lesstif temporarily if they are installed:
- emerge -C openmotif
- emerge -C lesstif
2. Install mozilla 1.1:
- cd /usr/portage/net-www/mozilla
- USE="-gtk2" emerge mozilla-1.1-r1.ebuild
3. Install sun-jdk:
- emerge sun-jdk
- java-config -list-available-vms [look for the sun-jdk package]
- java-config --set-system-vm=sun-jdk-1.4.1.01 [or the latest sun-jdk]
4. Install flash plugin:
- emerge netscape-flash
5. Install j2sdk:
- emerge sun-j2sdk [make sure you have the r2 ebuild]
6. Reinstall openmotif and lesstif if they were installed
- emerge openmotif
- emerge lesstif

That's it! I hope this helps!

* Java 2 SDK Source <http://wwws.sun.com/software/java2/download.html>
From Sun's website, download the following files:
- j2sdk-1_4_0-src-scsl.zip
- j2sdk-1_4_0-motif-linux-i386.zip
- j2sdk-1_4_0-mozilla_headers-unix.zip

I tried to register and to download these files, but I didn't succeed. Can somebody mirror these files on a FTP please?
Thanks,

We are bound by law not to do that.

Just go to http://wwws.sun.com/software/java2/download.html and get the files! It's not that difficult! (If you have difficulty, go to http://java.sun.com/j2se, goto Source Licensing, click Download under the Get menu)

Hm, the files "j2sdk-1_4_0-src-scsl.zip" and "j2sdk-1_4_0-motif-linux-i386.zip" doesnt't seem to be downloadable from there anymore? I got the first file from there, but can't seem to find the last two on that page. A search in sun's downloads didn't give much info either. :(

Try to find the mozilla headers under the Mozilla binaries section. Find the source files under the update-1.4.0 section.

Just wondering why do you need to install 2 JDKs: 1.4.1_01 and 1.4.0?
One is pre-build: 1.4.1_01 and the other one you compile it yourself. Doesn't seem logical to me.

This is because the source code for 1.4.0 has a "circular dependancy." It requires that you have java installed in order to compile java from source. Both sun java 1.4.1_01 and blackdown 1.4.1_beta satisfy this dependancy. Once you have compiled java 1.4.0 from source (and tested it, of course) you can remove the original one.

I was able to follow all of these steps. But java and mozilla are still not working together for me. While before, my mozilla just kept prompting me for a plugin when visiting a page with java. Now a visit to the same page just closes it completly 8O . No error reports, no seg fauls, in the blink of an eye mozilla just disappears. So now I have checked the box that says disable java. The end result is no improvement from before. :(

Understood. But still, why two JVMs? I mean, step 3 already installs a JDK for you. Why would you want a second one?
The only thing you need to do, if you would skip step 5, is to make a softlink to the plugins directory of mozilla:

# ln -sf /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.1.01/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

sun-jdk is gcc-2.9x compatible. In other words, no java plugin.
sun-j2sdk is compatible with any gentoo system.

sun-j2sdk has some java sources that need to be compiled by a java compiler. I think they are probably critical VM or JDK components. Otherwise, it could just use the already compiled javac. It's like needing gcc to make gcc.

That doesn't work on systems running gcc 3.2, such as the gentoo v1.4rc currently out. Hence the instructions above.

Glad to help everyone out!

I redid the steps and emerged Mozilla 1.2b instead, and now I have working mozilla and java. :D There are a few pages that I visit, that still cause a complete shutdown. If any of you that followed the same steps, to get mozilla and java working together, visit http://www.maharashtratimes.com/, and tell me if mozilla closes down, I'd appreciate it.

Just for your info, it doesn't close on 1.1b with the steps above. However, I don't have any of the international language packages installed on my system.

I am also getting this error when emerging on a system with sun-jdk and gcc3.2.
