 Opera uses Netscape plugins, although it calls Java directly (no Netscape=20
 plugin).

 See the www/linuxpluginwrapper port. Opera can only use this on 4.x. I'm no=
 t=20
 running 4.x myself, but I've been told that you can run Flash in Opera on 4=
 =2Ex=20
 if you use www/linuxpluginwrapper, just as you can in Mozilla / derivatives=
 =20
 and Konqueror.=20
 =46or this to work on 5.x, Opera needs to do a 5.x build. This may happen=20
 soon :).
