I removed:
Nov 06 08:46:20 Erased: java-1.6.0-openjdk
Nov 06 08:46:22 Erased: java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

and then re-installed:
Nov 06 08:47:47 Installed: 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.18.b09.fc9.i386
Nov 06 08:47:47 Installed: 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-0.18.b09.fc9.x86_64
Nov 06 08:50:04 Installed: 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.18.b09.fc9.x86_64

and now iced-tea shows up in the list of browser plugins and the tests at http://www.javatester.org/ pass.

I did some experiments and I was able to reproduce the same problem if I only installed:
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.18.b09.fc9.i386
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-0.18.b09.fc9.x86_64

ie don't install the x86_64 package of openjdk. If I only install the x86_64 package and not the i386 package, the java plugin still works.

Thanks,
Steve.
