Re: Java Runtime Environment plugin for Firefox

Hi,

Build your own RPMs using the www.jpackage.org spec files and 
downloading the JSE from Sun.  It's a bit of a PItA (and an impediment 
to a fluid Linux experience) but it works well and the Mozilla/Firefox 
plugin Java runs without a hassle (though it's hidden deep in a 
convoluted directory tree).  My life wouldn't be worth living if 
Runescape didn't work on Firefox in Linux.
