It is written in an API that is unsupported by Chromium. A new plugin is in the works, and will be released as alpha with IcedTea 1.7 soon. This will be compiled in rawhide. I will backport it to F12 as soon as it is beta/more stable. Until then, as much as I don't want to tout closed source on Fedora, the Sun plugin is the only option for Java on Chromium.
