Install Java Plugins for Fedora

Fedora includes an open-source version of Java 6, and nearly every Java applet will run if you simply install the Java plugin that comes with Fedora:

   1. Open a Terminal.

   2. Become root:
      su -

   3. Install the plugin:
      yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

Note: Tested in Fedora 12. You also need rpmforge configured (http://linux4starters.blogspot.com/2010/09/installing-local-rpms.html).
