15 Not that I know of, it hasn't been released yet (still beta). I've
16 read on the www that you can extract just the libnpjp2.so file from
17 the archive and drop it in on top of your current sun-jre
18 installation, then make a symlink to it your firefox plugins
19 directory. I haven't actually tried it as I can't remember the last
20 time I ran into java on the web.
