Firefox Java plugin with 7.0?


I'm like to ask what people are using for Java plugin with Firefox. There were
a few recent threads on this subject but no definitive answer:

I tried compiling jdk15 port and was able to build it and install it
successfully. However, when trying to load a java applet in Firefox, the
browser seemingly crashes (exits). I then tried following the method described
in the handbook by downloading the diablo-jre-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz
package from FreeBSD Foundation website and adding it with pkg_add. Trying to
load java applets crashes Firefox. In both cases, javavmwrapper was installed
and about:plugins in Firefox shows that java plugin is installed. Is there a
working combination for 7.0-PRERELEASE/BETA?

My system is:

# uname -a
FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #0: Mon Oct 15 13:02:17 EDT
2007 swaggy@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/T61 i386
# pkg_info | grep java
javavmwrapper-2.3 Wrapper script for various Java Virtual Machines
# pkg_info | grep firefox
firefox-2.0.0.8,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla

# ls -la /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/

Currently with jre from FreeBSD foundation site:
# pkg_info | grep jre
diablo-jre-1.5.0.07.01 Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_07.01


Thanks,
Yuri
