JRE in Fedora 7

Perhaps this is the right forum for this question?

Hi,

I am trying to install the Java Runtime Environment in Fedora 7.

However, according to articles such as this:

How to Install Java in Fedora Core 6 - Java Runtime Environment - Softpedia

I should have a plugin directory in the jre directory. I don't have that after running the script.

I also don't have that in the /usr/java/jre1.6.0_0.6 directory that comes with Fedora 7.


My question: Is the article above correct for installing JRE and if so, how do I link to files such as /opt/jre1.5.0_xx/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so when they don't appear? Is there an easier way to install it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What are you trying to do with the JRE? Running Java applets in Web browser, or running some other Java-based applications? The "plugin" is used for running Java applets. You don't need to install it unless running applet is your intention.

My installation is Java SDK 6 (with the JRE inside). The browser plugin is:

Code:
[bernardchan@bernardchan ~]$ ls -l ~/apps/jdk/jre/plugin/i386/ns7
