I'm still trying to figure out the alternatives system myself; but,
the instructions on the following web page worked for me:

It's the other way around--link required, not copy.
Thanks for the sanity check.
The original poster should know that with the sun java
distribution and firefox 1 on FC3 was able to enable
java in firefox with a simple link (be sure to
enable java in firefox too).
The below might help....
When installing java there is some interaction with alternatives on
FC3 that I do not have a correct solution for. I just renamed the
alternatives hooks and made 'fresh links'.
# file /usr/bin/java*
/usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin/java'
/usr/bin/java-alternatives: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java'
/usr/bin/javac: symbolic link to `/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin/javac'
/usr/bin/javac-alternatives: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/javac'
# java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)
# firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 1.0, Copyright (c) 2004 mozilla.org
# find / -xdev -name libjavaplugin_oji.so | while read i
do
ls -l $i
done
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 185988 Sep 15 06:18
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134116 Sep 15 06:18

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 Jan 4 14:33
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
I wish I knew more about java....
