java plugin for Firefox on AMD64 running FreeBSD 6.3

[Dino Vliet]

Hi folks,

I'm lost at finding a solution for getting the java plugin to work in Firefox 2.11 on my AMD64 system running FreeBSD 6.3.

I've upgraded my ports and the diablo-jdk version is:
pkg_info | grep diablo
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_9 Java Development Kit 1.5.0_07.01

The handbook said I needed the JRE so I installed that as well:

pkg_info | grep diablo
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_9 Java Development Kit 1.5.0_07.01
diablo-jre-1.5.0.07.01_9 Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_07.01

But now I need to do this in order to see the java plugin activated when I press about:plugins:

# ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/

But I don't have a plugin directory in the 
  /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0 directory, so I won't have that file libjavaplugin_oji.so either.
 

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advanced,
Dino
