Installing Java (JRE 1.4.2_03) requires registry entries to locate firebird.

Firefox installer creates most of them. Download the installer here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/FirebirdSetup.exe

However, it fails to create one registry entry required by Java. (Mozilla version) Save this registry patch to your desktop: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/resources/firebird-jre142-fix.reg

Right click on it, select "Merge". You're done!

For Linux users, download the Linux version of the Java SDK. When the download is finished, execute the .bin file as root and follow the prompts.

When the installation has completed, run this command in the plugins directory of your Firebird installation:

ln -s /path/to/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin.so
