<title>Mozilla, Java, and Shockwave Flash</title>
<para>Installing <application>Mozilla</application> is simple, but
unfortunately installing <application>mozilla</application> with
support for things like <emphasis>java</emphasis> and
<emphasis>Shockwave Flash</emphasis> consumes both time and disk
space.</para>
<para>The first thing is to download the files which will be used
with <application>Mozilla</application>. Take your current web
browser up to
<ulink url="http://www.sun.com/software/java2/download.html">
http://www.sun.com/software/java2/download.html</ulink> and
create an account on their website. Remember to save the username
and password from here as it may be needed in the future. Download
a copy of the j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar.gz and place this in
<filename>/usr/ports/distfiles/</filename> as the port will not
fetch it manually. This is due to license restrictions. While
we are here, open the <quote>java environment</quote> from
<ulink url="http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/Display?BundleId=7163">
http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/Display?BundleId=7163</ulink>.
The filename is j2sdk-1_3_1_06-linux-i586.bin and is large (about 25
megabytes! Like before, this file must be placed into
<filename>/usr/ports/distfiles/</filename>. Finally download a copy
of the <quote>java patchkit</quote> from
<ulink url="http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/">
http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/</ulink> and place it
into <filename>/usr/ports/distfiles/</filename></para>
<para>Install the <filename role="package">java/jdk13</filename> port
with the standard <maketarget>make install clean</maketarget> and
then install the <filename role="package">www/flashpluginwrapper</filename>
port. This port requires
<filename role="package">emulators/linux_base</filename> which is a
large port. True that other flash plugins exist, however they have
not worked for me.</para>
<para>Now copy the flash plug-in files with:
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cp /usr/local/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so</userinput></screen>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cp /usr/local/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/</userinput></screen>
<note><para>If you are using
<filename role="package">www/mozilla-devel</filename>,
the destination directories will be different.</para></note>
<para>Now add the following lines to the top of (but right under
#!/bin/bash) <application>mozilla</application> startup script:
<filename>/usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla</filename>.</para>
<programlisting>LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libflashplayer.so.1
export LD_PRELOAD</programlisting>
<para>This will enable the flash plug-in.</para>
<para>Install the <filename role="package">www/mozilla</filename> port,
if <application>mozilla</application> is already installed then just
start it with:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>mozilla &amp;</userinput></screen>
<para>And access the <quote>About Plugins</quote> option from the
<quote>Help</quote> menu. A list should appear with all the currently
available plugins. <application>java</application> and
<application>shockwave flash</application> should both be listed.</para>
