I have used Sun's JDK with FC1 for 6 months. Apart from making sure you
pick the correct plugin up for Mozilla, it was straightforward.

I did not use Thomas' procedure, but looking at it, there is a step
where he sets up a global PATH setting to the newly installed JRE. This
would require restarting of any shells before it is effective, and can
be checked by typing "echo $PATH". There should be a path to
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/bin

You may also want to check you can navigate to the directory above as a
normal user, to make sure permissions are okay.

Try this and see how you go.

Cheers, Ben
