I've tested this a couple of times on F8rc3 Live.  So if there are 
changes with F8 or differences with the DVD install I don't know yet.

Please let me know how it works.  I'm planning on making a web page 
with instructions and info when I have some :-).

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.
