For those of you that are testing Ubuntu Karmic Beta (9.10) 32bit & have
trouble getting Sun Java to work w/SeaMonkey 2.0, I've found the
following works for me:

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
$ cd ~/.mozilla
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ~/.mozilla/plugins
$ cd /user/lib/mozilla/plugins
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

Restart SM 2.0 and you should then see
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_15
	Filename: libnpjp2.so
	The next generation java plug-in for Mozilla browser

You can test at http://java.com and select the 'Do I have Java' link.

Note: trying to figure out a similar 64bit solution w/Leonard Chatagnier
off-list. Personally I think he should cut his machine in half so it's
32bit, but with any luck we'll be able to figure out something similar
shortly.
