I have blackdown-jde1.4.1 and blackdown-jre-1.4.1 installed on my box.
Then added following lines in /etc/profile
Code:
#add Blackdown JAVA enviroment
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1
export JAVA_HOME

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

#CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH


Then enable Java in Mozilla->Edit->prerefence....

I was failed find libjavaplugin_oji.so file. instead I find libjavaplugin_jni.so. Is the corresponding file on a sparc version?

java-config doesn't work for me either:
Code:
$>java-config -L

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/java-config", line 14, in ?
    from java_config import jc_options
ImportError: No module named java_config



Any suggestion is welcome!.

In the jdk is a "plugins" directory. There you'll find the correct file for mozilla ;)

The plugin is no longer installed by the ebuild for blackdown-jre or blackdown-jdk because of security problems. We're awaiting a new Java release from Blackdown, it's been coming for a long time too.

There's no sun-jdk for linux/sparc, just blackdown.

So we have to wait untill the new release comes out. Is there a workaround something?

Thanks,

Not for Linux no. There is for Solaris however. As Linux on SPARC is a bit of a "niche of a niche", I'd doubt we'll ever see one as there isn't enough business potential for Sun to support something on their own hardware other than their own OS.
