java plugin firefox and ibm's website

[Jan Morales]

Works for me. What I did was:

1. download jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin from Sun (go to 
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and select the "Linux RPM 
(self-extracting file)")
2. run it to extract jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.rpm
3. rpm -ivh jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.rpm
4. cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins
5. ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
6. restart Firefox
