While it's true that there is no built-in Java support, there is plenty 
available.  The best resource for serious Java on Fedora is jpackage.org.

Watch out about installing the Sun Java from RPM--it's not properly 
integrated into the structure that Fedora has set up to be Java ready. 
It's passable if all you need is the Mozilla plugin, but for more 
sophisticated use it has serious drawbacks.  (This is gleaned from reading 
JPackage docs.)
