Java plugin is a browser plugin that comes with J2SE. I'm using some of its classes in an
applet I'm developing. But I've never installed a plugin before - other than just to click "run" with self-installing types. This java plugin comes as a jar file that doesn't self-install.
I'm pretty sure (but not completely) that plugins are installed by placing them in a sub-directory of the browser software. I tried copying plugin.jar to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Plugins - but that didn't seem to have any effect. (If it should have, I'll try again. Would I need to reboot my computer?) Anyways - anybody know how to install Java Plugin?
I have MSIE, Opera, and Firefox on my machine, and would be interested in getting this running properly in all three. At present, I'm using the plugin software by having it all unzipped (de-jarred?) into my classpath. I don't think that's the way it's supposed to be done.
