yeah forgot about the soft link in the plugins folder for FF

while you are learnin me...this is what I typically use:

# cat /etc/profile.d/java.sh
JREHOME="/usr/lib/jre/lib/i386"
JAVAWSHOME="/usr/lib/jre/javaws"
PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/jre/bin"

Then I soft link whatever version of java that I have to /usr/lib/jre

and I have never set a JAVA_HOME environmental variable and not had an
issue. Care to critique?
