I might add one can test if Java support is installed+enabled by going to
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp
This is Sun's java test page.
My situation is that Java support is installed+enabled, but R help is
still not working. This indicates some issue to do with the
Javascript/Java interface. It might be paranoid security settings, though
I've turned of all the security options I can find.
Is there anyone running Mozilla Firebird 0.6 or 0.7 on Debian 3.0 who has
got HTML searching to work?
