Even after you installed java you have to link it to netscape which do not 
currently know whether you installed or not. You have to make a symbolic 
link like:

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.netscape/plugins/

or if you use mozilla then it's

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so  /usr/lib/mozilla-version_number_you_have/plugins

Personnaly I prefer mozilla. It's better than netscape!
