Hello,
For SL6 there is now a java plugin.  That plugin is called icedtea-web.
This package is already in SL 6.1.  There are enough SL 6.0 users want 
this, that I figured I'd put it into testing, so SL 6.0 users could 
install it if they want.

Since this isn't a security errata, there is currently no plans to put 
this into the SL 6.0 security updates.

To test or update

SL6
-------

    yum --enablerepo=sl-testing install icedtea-web

or you can download rpm's by hand at

icedtea-web-1.0.2-3.el6

Thanks
Troy Dawson
