Note that this is totally from memory (done last night), and I did NOT get confirmation in Firefox that the pluggin is seen by Firefox.
cd to Firefox pluggins directory:
/usr/lib/Firefox-1.0/pluggins
and create a link to the java plugin library:
ln -s /usr/java/jdk5.0/jre/<path>/<to>/libjavaplugin.oji .
Then, I believe you *should* be able to close Firefox and re-open it, then do
- Edit - Preferences - Download - click on Plugins, and java should be listed
But as I said, I couldn't get java to be listed there.

Hello,
Fairly new to Fedora (and linux). Running FC3. Came with Mozzila,
but I also instaleld Firefox. Browsers work fine. No proxies
involved.
I wanted to be able to run Java, and it didn't seem
to be installed. So I downloaded Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
(J2SE) from
java.com. Installed the rpm. Seemed to work fine.
Now under preferences, I see Java, and there is one version of Java Applet Runtime Settings and one version of Java Application Runtime Settings. Both are enabled.
But in my browser, when I try to view any java applets (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp) I get a message telling me I need a plugin (Sun Java J2SE50). I have restarted my browser, even the entire system once. Still doesn't know I have java installed?
Thanks Shane

You have to specify the file name and there is problems with jdk5.0. I recommend using the JRE 1.4.2 VM. I did a soft link to the libjavaplugin.oji in the ns610-gcc32 directory.
