Are you trying isntall the java plugin for an applet?

If not, please pardon the noise.

If so, upgrading to FC2 or FC3 wont help as this has nothing to do with
which version of FC is running. Java is not, and has not been, ready to
go 'out of the box' on any version of FC to date.  You must install the
plugin manually.

create a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to the plugin in the
jre/sdk you've installed.

Something like [as root]:

ln -sf /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_07/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-
gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

[of course, replace your sdk directory with the one above.]

That should work for mozilla and firefox, for all the users of the
machine.  If it doesn't?  you can try to create the symlink in
~/.mozilla/plugins as yourself.

Of course, YMMV.

Hope that helps,
