Netscape and missing libnullplugin.so

[Kevin_Hendricks <khendricks@admin.ivey.uwo.ca>]

Hi,

I now have the source to the java plugin for Netscape/Mozilla (via my license 
with Blackdown) and I have ported both the java plugin 1.1.2 (allowing the use 
of jdk118 inside Netscape and plugin 1.2 (to allow the forthcoming jdk 1.2.2 to 
work within netscape).

I have been unable to get either plugin to be recognized by the latest Netscape 
rpm available from LinuxPPC.

I went and downloaded the Sparc version of the plugin to see how the whole 
process worked under Solaris and noticed that the Solaris Netscape plugins 
already includes a libnullplugin.so which does not seem to exist in the ppc 
version of Netscape.  The description of libnullplugin.so is that it helps 
support plugins under Netscape.

Should there be a libnullplugin.so in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/ under ppc?  Is 
it needed to get other plugins to work?

Any info here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin
