Why isn't Blackdown Java being seem by Mozilla 1.4rc1

I have blackdown-jre-1.3.1-r7 working fine as a Mozilla plugin for the 1.2 system.
It is installed on this 1.4rc1 system.
Had it installed before Mozilla, then reinstalled it when it wasn't showing up.

also ran
java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jre-1.3.1
env-update

Everything seems to be fine, only plugger, flash and acrobat reader is showing up.

I heard someone say that it had to be Sun java now, but I find that hard to believe that
Blackdown won't work anymore. There has to be something else. Like I have to add
it as a Class or something, but didn't have to do that before.

I am going to wait until someone has some answers though, before I start doing anything else.
Seems that Java can get screwed up easily.

I would like the add that the symlink to /opt/blackdown*/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so is there in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder.

Even though Mozilla plugin page and Blackdown doc says that is the way to do it it isn't working.

1.4rc1 is GCC 3.2, that JRE wont work with it. Do a search, you need to compile java from scratch unless theres an ebuild out for it

Bummer, it was so easy last time. I guess easy is over sometimes. Thanks.
