Here's what I did on F8rc3 Live, it should work for you but please
post back if it doesn't.
How to get Sun's Java running on F8rc3
As root -
1) Download the Sun Java Linux RPM from java.sun.com and install it.
2) Fix the Xinerama bug with
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g'
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03//jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so
Save a copy if you want to restore it to original.
3) Put the link to
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7libjavaplugin_oji.so into
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
4) Install compat-libstdc++-33
5) Remove nspluginwrapper
Now you should be able to compile and run Java applications, run Java
Applets in Firefox and load and run Java Web Start programs.
