Hi,
I just tried this and it works fine. I tested the link you supplied before 
(failed) & after (works)

Go to www.java.com, get the rpm.bin file, read the installation at that site, 
install it.
To set up plugins just make a sym link from your browsers plugin dir:
ln -s <java-plugins-dir>libjavaplugin_oji.so <browse_plugin-dir>

Here is what i used:
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
/usr/local/MozillaFirebird/plugins/

Hope that helps.
