Adding Java2 pluggin to Netscape 6.2

[John Lindinger]

Hi:

I've installed Netscape 6.2 via the web download installer.  I chose "Recommeded" config
that does not install the Java pluggin. The Netscape 6.2 installed and works fine.

I have hit several web pages that need the Java2 plugin and I am offered the opportunity
to get and install it. This "automatic" process me failed twice, so I followed a
suggestion in the error message and I manually downloaded a 14MB file via FTP named...

  jre131_02.xpi 

I cannot find any direction for extracting the contents of this file.  Running the
netscape-installer executable simply begins the install process from scratch, including
downloading all the selected .xpi files. It's not smart enough to recognize the files are
already present locally.

Does anybody know how to process the jre131_02.xpi file and exract the needed files into
the /usr/local/netscape/plugins directory?

Thanks,
John Lindinger

PS - I do not believe that the Java runtime environment was installed by my Redhat 7.0
installation. Does that matter?
