The Java plugins for Netscape haven't been enabled in the native
JDK1.4.1 port right now.  If you have the skills and would like to put
in some work porting the code, I'm sure it would be deeply
appreciated.

Or if you want a working Java plugin sooner than that, try installing
JDK1.3.1 -- works fine for me with Mozilla on 4.8-STABLE.  You can
install both JDK1.3.1 and JDK1.4.1 simultaneously (if you have
sufficient disk space), and they will coexist quite happily.  Just set
JAVA_HOME in your environment, and adjust your PATH to select which
ever one you want to use.

	Cheers,
