For the 10^6 time -- JMF on Fedora does not work!

I've tried everything under the Sun (no pun intended), and I've seen many other people with this same problem, but no solution...

(1) I installed the performance pack version of JMF 2.1.1 for Linux.

(2) I modified my .bash_profile to read as follows...

PATH=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/bin:$PATH

export PATH

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06

export JAVA_HOME

JMFHOME=/usr/java/JMF-2.1.1e

CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar:.:${CLASSPATH}

export JMFHOME CLASSPATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

(3) Just to beat a dead horse, I even copied-pasted the following:

/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/*.jar --> /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/lib/ext/

/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/*.so --> /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/lib/i386/

both *.jar and *.so --> /usr/mozilla/plugins/

(4) But when I try running the online diagnostic applet

http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmfdiagnostics.html

I get the following:

Java 1.1 compliant browser.....Maybe

JMF classes.....Not Found

and none of the sample JMF apps on the Sun website work.

Any clues at all? Does JMF not work on Fedora?

I guess I'll just keep asking this question every few days until someone from Sun answers?

Thanks anyways...

I have the same problem on RedHat 9.0 (so I completely sympathize with your frustration), but using the Java Plug-in from JDK 1.5, it works for me likes it's supposed to. YMMV, but it's something you can try.Scott

Hi,I can assure you that JMF works on RedHat 9 and Fedora... I've been using it for months now. On the other hand, I never tried the diagnostic Applet. Just go to the JMF solutions page and try some examples.Sincerely,PM

Yes, I didn't make that clear (first thing in the morning). Even though the JMF Diagnostic applet doesn't work for me on RedHat 9.0 using the Java Plugin with JDK 1.4.2, JMF DOES work for me from the command line. It seems that the Java 1.4.2 Plugin isn't finding JMF on the path. For me, the Java 1.5 Plugin resolves this issue.
