Java with Linux Netscape or Mozilla?

Does anyone have a Linux Netscape or Mozilla browser with both Java and Flash
working?

I have NS7 and Linux Mozilla 1.5 installed, and flash works in both, but Java 
works in neither. I have these installed..
linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.0_1
linux-esound-0.2.22_1
linux-flashplugin-6.0r79
linux-gtk-1.2_2
linux-libaudiofile-0.1.11_2
linux-mozilla-1.5
linux-realplayer-8.cs2_4
linux-sdl-1.2.5_1
linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.03

And have these in /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape7-english/plugins
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root    wheel       42 Mar  2 16:29 java -> /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/bin/java
-rw-r--r--  1 darius  wheel  1470464 Jun 25  2003 libflashplayer.so
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root    wheel       78 Mar  2 16:28 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

And in /usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins I have
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     42 Feb  5 20:57 java -> /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/bin/java
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     51 Feb  5 20:46 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     78 Feb  5 20:55 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

about:plugins in both browsers shows the JRE present, eg..
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03-b02

    File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
    Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03
...

but when I try a Java applet (eg http://www.dons.net.au/~darius/Gess.html) I
get no applet display - no grey square or popup asking to download a plugin
either :(

I can view that applet with appletviewer or Konqueror (Konq is using the
same JRE).

Anyone have any tips? :)
