Mine 02.  Also recommend Dag Wieers' packages to streamline the process.
He takes care of the symbolic links in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.  I have:

[root at tabb1 root]# rpm -qa | egrep "(j2|mozilla)" | sort
j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag
mozilla-1.6-8
mozilla-acroread-5.0.9-1.1.fc2.dag
mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag
mozilla-mail-1.6-8
mozilla-nspr-1.6-8
mozilla-nss-1.6-8

Had to "rpm -e j2re-1_4_2_04" to get yum to install the Dag packages.
It it won't upgrade to j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag although it seems to be a
later version to the eyeball - something to do with sort order
apparently.
