04:00 pm - tonytraductor - java not working in FF This may very well be the wrong place to ask, but, honestly, who would knowbetter than java developers?I have java installed on my system, in fact, i have Sun's 1.5.0, 1.6.0 and 1.6.0.4 and 1.6.0.5There is a symbolic link from the libjavaplugin_oji.so from the 1.6.0.5 to/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/home/me/.mozilla/plugins(also tried with link from 1.6.0 and 1.6.0.4 plugins)But, no java applets work in firefox (I get the lego piece, missing plugin deal).This is FF 3.0b4 (updated today...had the same issue with FF 3.0b2)Same thing in Seamonkey v1.1.6.This is on PCLinuxOS (in all truth, linguas os, which isbased on PCFluxboxOS).Everything is updated today, and I was hoping that would resolve the issue.The issue was present before the updates.For all practicaly purposes, everything is where it should be, as far as I can tell.(Yes...I also have "Enable java" clicked in preferences, too...)I just don't get it...And the people on the moz forums keep pointing me to the directions todo everything I already did...which is getting annoying.Incidentally, Konqueror can find and use the java just fine.I can use java chats and all kinds of other groOvy java content in Konqueror,but, I want to be able to do so in FF, and it's not cooperating.I'm stumped.Any ideas?
06:21 pm - ruakh - Final class vs. class with all of its non-private members being final. Hi all,Long-time reader, first time poster. :-)I was wondering: the String class is final, the explanation being that any clients of String need to know that they really have a String, and not some subclass. But what's the advantage of a final class over a class all of whose non-private members are final?(Technical and OO-theoretical answers are equally welcome.)Thanks in advance!
