My current understanding is that I need to create a symbolic link to a Java .so file in the Mozilla plugin directory but must be doing something wrong since I cannot get Java to show up as a plugin using about:plugins in SeaMonkey Mozilla.

There is a JVM available that runs just fine on all new supported
versions of CentOS (5.11, 6.7 and 7.2) and EPEL as well. My suggestion
is you install and run something that is supported and not full of major
security holes.
If you choose to run something years out of date such as CentOS 3,
regardless of the reason, you are quite on your own, it is already
broken and you get to keep the pieces.
