On x86 anyway. The standard Java RPMs from Sun actually work just fine. Instead of linking the version you are, link the libjavaplugin_oji.so in /usr/java/jre-1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/ to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/plugins instead. Sun changed the structure so that the ns7-gcc29 folder is for gcc 2.9 an older and the regular ns7 folder contains the newer gcc versions.
