I won't recommend either, because (1) you have to put the symbolic link 
either in ~/.mozilla/plugins, or in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and (2), 
there is no system version of Java distributed with Fedora 3 (licensing 
issues; note that you have to accept the Sun Microsystems Binary Code 
license agreement to download it).

Personally, I've just installed it in my home directory, but then I've 
got a single user machine.
