There was an email thread on this recently. I've copied the relevant text here: Install Oracle/Sun Java: # rpm -i jre-6u22-linux-i586.rpm Make it the system default: # alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 20000 # alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so \ libjavaplugin.so /usr/java/default/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 20000 To switch between IcedTea and Oracle/Sun (if necessary): # alternatives --config java # alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so What I did was to fix my PATH variable to put /usr/java/latest/bin before /usr/bin so it would pickup the Sun java tools. Next create a symlink from /usr/java/latest/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so to .mozilla/plugins This will install the Sun java plugin. If you're installing 32 bit the path will different. You will need to go into firefox and disable all other java plugins except the Sun one, and restart firefox. Hope this helps.
