    I've just installed jdk14 from ports on my FreeBSD 5.2.1 system, thus I
    have linux compatibility and linprocfs installed and mounted. I want to
    enable a Java VM plugin in firefox 0.8. After some trouble with flash
    (which I have now managed to get working) I discovered libmap.conf.
    Currently when viewing Java content I am prompted to install the
    x-java-vm plugin yet I have the jdk installed. Do I need to add an entry
    into libmap.conf to enable firefox to recongnise the java vm plugin? Or
    is there something else I should be doing? Currently my libmap.conf
    reads as follows (althought the last 3 lines seem to have no effect and
    firefox displays no mention of Java VM in about:plugins):

    # Flash6 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
    [/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
    libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
    libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
    libz.so.1 libz.so.2
    libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++.so.4
    libm.so.6 libm.so.2
    libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so

    # Acrobat with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
    [/usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so]
    libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so

    [/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/java]
    libkse.so.1 libc_r.so.5
    libkse.so libc_r.so
