Setting up Sun java plugin in Mozilla Firefox

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and was wondering how to configure the java plugin in firefox. I already had unzipped jdk, so I just wanted to configure the java plugin in firefox. It was easier than I thought, you only need to follow 2 steps ...

* Go to the Java Plugins folder (~/jre1.5.0_X/plugin/i386/ns7) that has been created and using GNOME, right-click and "Make Link" to "libjavaplugin_oji.so".
* Drag and drop the newly created Link to "~/.mozilla/plugins".

And that's it. You can check whether plugin is correctly installed using "about:plugins" command in the address bar or you can test it on java.com
