Hello,
It seems that the x86_64 version of jdk on SL5 actually has a browser
plugin now.
java-1.6.0-sun-compat has been updated to put the x86_64 java plugin
into the x86_64 firefox plugin area.
Note: The x86_64 java plugin is called libnpjp2.so
To test or update
SL5
-------
yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update jdk java\*
or you can download rpm's by hand at
