Nope, WRONG! This will break the Java VM. You should build a symbolic
Link to this file from the firefox plugings directory, like this:
[root at localhost plugins]# ln -s
/jre1.5.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
If you want to make this plugin available to a limited number of users
do the link from the user's home .mozilla/plugin directory.
