Installation of extensions:
===========================
* Extensions which work with all Java 2 VMs (>= v1.3) should be installed
  in /usr/lib/j2se/ext (with native libraries in /usr/lib/j2se/<ARCH>).
  Packages should depend on j2re or j2sdk if development tools are required.
* Extension which require a specific Java 2 version should be installed
  in /usr/lib/j2se/<major>.<minor>/jre/lib/ext (with native libraries 
  in /usr/lib/j2se/<major>.<minor>/jre/lib/<ARCH>).
  Packages should depend on j2re<major.minor> or j2sdk<major.minor> if
  development tools are required.
(<ARCH> currently is 'i386' for all x86 machines, 'sparc' for all sparc
machines, and '`uname -m`' for all other machines)


Debian Java Repository:
=======================
/usr/share/java/repository gets added to CLASSPATH automatically but
it is no extension directory.
If you want to give all permissions to code installed in
/usr/share/java/repository, the uncomment the corresponding section
in /etc/j2se/1.3/security/java.policy.


Alternatives:
=============
Please see README.alternatives.


Java Plug-In:
=============
* The j2re1.3 packages automatically enables the Java Plug-In for use
  with Netscape 4.x, Mozilla, and browser based on Mozilla.
* The Plug-In can be configured with JavaPluginControlPanel.
* Netscape 4.x only:  For versions < 4.77 the Plug-In only works for
  HTML pages which have been modified for use with the Plug-In.
  Since version 4.77 it is possible to completely replace Netscape's
  builtin VM: Enable 'Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Enable Java->Enable
  Java Plugin'
