Please try:

 1) download and install java (as you said)

 2) cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/plugins (or whatever your library 
    directory is for your particular Mozilla version)

 3) ln -s
../../../java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
libjavaplugin_oji.so
    (note you may have to change the paths slightly if you have a 
    different version than mine)

 4) In the Mozilla browser URL window type in "about:plugins" and
    see which plugins are activated.

 5) If alls well with java, you'll see a big block of different 
    "application/x-java-applet;version=XXX" entries.  If not, 
    go back to step 3 and double-check the paths you used.  For 
    instance, try the "ns610-gcc32" version instead of "ns610".

good luck!
Ed
