browser java plugin doesn't work

hi

I have native www/seamonkey and java/jdk16 installed from ports on freeBSD 8.1, but the java browser plugin doesn't work.

According to:

http://www.wwwpages.com/fgoodies/1348-firefoxcomplete.html

I've tried the following:
Code:
# ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
# ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/
but it won't work.
I cannot see any java plugin under "About Plugins" in the Seamonkey browser.

Code:
# java -version
java version "1.6.0_03-p4"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-p4-root_08_sep_2011_00_47-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-p4-root_08_sep_2011_00_47-b00, mixed mode)

# pkg_info | grep Java
diablo-jdk-1.6.0.07.02_16 Java Development Kit 1.6.0_07.02
javavmwrapper-2.3.5 Wrapper script for various Java Virtual Machines
jdk-1.6.0.3p4_26    Java Development Kit 1.6.0
vnc-4.1.3_4         Display X and Win32 desktops on remote X/Win32/Java display

# pkg_info | grep seamonkey
seamonkey-2.3.3     The open source, standards compliant web browser

BTW don't know if really needed, but www/nspluginwrapper and emulators/linux_base-fc4 are already installed.
 
Look in the Handbook first. Other sources may be out of date, like that article.

Don't forget to remove the links before you follow the Handbook instructions.
