I have been asking questions about this since 2.2-ALPHA and no one has given
me a straight answer...

I have been running Netscape 3.01 using the builtin JVM with FreeBSD
2.1R without incendent since Netscape 3.01 came out.  

I upgraded one 2.1R box to 2.2-ALPHA and the Netscape JVM doesn't
work.  I made a brand-new 2.2-GAMMA box and it won't work on that
either.  It all still works fine on my 2.1R boxes.

Have you heard of this problem?  Do you know that this won't work?
Has it been working fine from the core team's perspective?


... some more details...

ok, so I place the classes and nls in the right place, set my paths
right, enable java in the browser and try to load an applet.
Sometimes it loads the HTML and I never see anything; even if I put
text in the APPLET tag that would come up if I weren't able to run the
applet.  Nothing at all, no applet, no message.   Sometimes the status
bar will say "Applet can't initialize".  And, the Java console (from
the Options menu) will not open.  I choose to open the console, and
nothing happens, no error messsage, no popup window, nothing.


Could someone drop me an e-mail so that I can work on this *with*
someone from whichever FreeBSD team handles these situations.  I am
more than willing to help in identifying the problem and figure out a
solution.  But its obvious by now I cannot do it by myself.
