Tried installing EPEL's whole stack.  Sorry if I'm being dense, but 
BZ#49426 does not tell me how to get around the missing x86_64 
pluginappletviewer cited in BZ#483881 that keeps the plugin from 
working.  Am I missing something?  (I see I missed explicitly mentioning 
x86_64 above. Works on i386.)

The error is:
gcjwebplugin error: Failed to run 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/../../bin/pluginappletviewer. 
 For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

BTW - is there a better place for this discussion than epel-devel-list?
