Problem With Java

[aslamhanif]

I'm using Fedora 8 Werewolf, and i have firefox 3.6.3.
I installed Java on it, and created a link to the plugin, but it doesn't appear of firefox when i type aboutlugins on firefox.
It says it's install when i type the commond java -version.

Has anyone got any ideas to help?

The java plug-in and java runtime are different things. On an unrelated note, is there a reason you need Fedora 8? The most recent version is 12, and they're almost ready to release 13.

How did you install Java?

i used the jre.rpm.bin which gave a rpm then i installed it. After installing i created a link to from the plugins directory to the firefox plugins.
