Hello!
If I want to allow Fedora2 / Mozilla 1.7 to run Java, what do I do?
I had similar problems and the key to the solution was to make a link to the JRE plugin - copying the JRE plugin into the mozilla directory didnt help.
Basically I followed the instructions www.fedoranews.org in Mr. Chungs information repository http://fedoranews.org/tchung/sunjava/ .
