or, indeed:
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
which doesn't wrap (and is probably easier to read. <g>)
although I *really* (as have many others) recommend the jpackage
approach. it really doesn't take long, and the java packages it produces
fit in properly with FCs alternatives system.
