There's Java HowTos on the CentOS Wiki
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS
I use Sun's JDK, so the following may or may not work in OpenJDK.
The JAVA_HOME here is Sun's JDK:
ln -s $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10/plugins/libnpjp2.so
You'll probably have to create the plugin directory under firefox -
and your version of firefox may be different.
On my machine, I linked
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10/plugins -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
then linked the Java library to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
Restart your browser and you should see
libnpjp2.so
as the Java plugin.
