Native Java plugin on FreeBSD

Hello,

> Do you have URL's to the applets? So we can test/reproduce.

Any and all applets are suitable test cases since no applets work :) Inlcuding 
the one at  http://java.sun.com/openstudio/applets/clock.html you asked 
about.

> I'm using Firefox and applets just worked after installing it.
> Did you enable Java in the settings?

Yes, the checkbox is checked in both Mozilla and Firefox.

> Can you open the 'Java Console'? (Tools -> Web Development -> Java Console)

With Firefox it resulted in a JVM crash (right click -> java console on a 
failed applet). With mozilla I have had problems at least once I'm pretty 
sure but when I just tried it the console popped up, reveiling the error too 
- it's defaulting to ipv6. Where would I configure Java environment variables 
(-Dxxxx=y) for use with the browser?

(I need to set -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true)

Looks to be the same problem I mentioned above. I get a small empty grey 
window instead of the initialized java console, followed by a crash a few 
seconds later.

Thanks!
