    I just downloaded Camino and I love it.  I downloaded the Java Embeded Plugin and have moved the two files to library/internet plugins folder.  I  can't get it to work.  When I go to java and varify installation, I get a gray box w/ a red x in the upper left corner.  I would love to get some help.  Thanks.

      I need a lot more information than you've given me.

      Which version of Camino are you using?  Which version of OS X?

      Recent versions of Camino already come with the Java Embedding Plugin, so you
      may not have needed to download the Java Embedding Plugin separately.

      When you enter "about:plugins" in Camino's location bar (the place where you
      type URLs like http://www.mozilla.org\), what version of the Java Embedding
      Plugin is listed?  (You won't be able to do this test if you're using Camino
      0.8.4 -- for "about:plugins" it just gives you a blank page.)

      What do you mean by "when I go to java and varify installation"?  Please
      describe step-by-step.  Also, are you sure that you had a network connection
      when you did this?

      [Sorry that my previous comment got messed up.  The SourceForge editor is
      really a pain.  It used to be bad enough, but now it can't handle double
      quotes.  Here's my comment again, with the double quotes replaced by single
      quotes.]

      I am using Version 2005122909 (1.0b2) of Camino.

      When I enter 'about:plugins' there is a long list with this one at the bottom:

      application/x-java-applet;version=1.5

      What I meant by "when I go to java" is this:  when I go to www.java.com there is a link that below the "download" button that says, "varify installation.  After clicking it, and waiting a bit, it tells me that I don't have java installed or it was done improperly.  

      My network connection is working.

      You still haven't told me which Mac OS X version you're using.

      > application/x-java-applet;version=1.5

      This doesn't tell me which version of the Java Embedding Plugin you're using.
      But Camino 1.0b2 comes with JEP 0.9.5+b (which is the latest version), so this
      is probably what you're using.

      I tried the 'Verify Installation' function at http://www.java.com/, with
      Camino 1.0b2 on OS X 10.4.4.  It worked just fine.  It did say that I don't
      have the latest Java version installed -- which is true.  But the latest Sun
      version isn't yet available from Apple.  In fact, Apple's latest version is
      almost always behind Sun's.
