what is the exact problem you have when trying to install the java
plugin? It is as simple as ln -s
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/  and ln -s
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-versionnumber/plugins/ . Note that I have the jsdk here
, but it's the same thing for the jre.

For flash , add these lines to your apt config:
#Flash
rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org apt/fedora/1 macromedia
then run apt-get install flash-plugin 
it will install the plugin and will do all the symlinks needed.
