I've just installed jdk14 from ports on my FreeBSD 5.2.1 system, thus I 
have linux compatibility and linprocfs installed and mounted. I want to 
enable a Java VM plugin in firefox 0.8. After some trouble with flash 
(which I have now managed to get working) I discovered libmap.conf. 
Currently when viewing Java content I am prompted to install the 
x-java-vm plugin yet I have the jdk installed. Do I need to add an entry 
into libmap.conf to enable firefox to recongnise the java vm plugin? Or 
is there something else I should be doing? Currently my libmap.conf 
reads as follows (althought the last 3 lines seem to have no effect and 
firefox displays no mention of Java VM in about:plugins):

# Flash6 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
