Apparently I don't have the java plugin browser installed. I've tried to install it using the rpm.bin file at http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com, but it's erroring out: "/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Text file busy".
If you want to keep it simple, I would not try to install at the same time the base CentOS OpenJdk RPMs and the Sun RPM. If you don't care much about control (in the free software sense) on your Java installation and just need the plugin, I guess you should go for the Sun RPM after uninstalling the base OpenJdk packages.
Maybe some people on the list have other opinions / tips.
Here's a link on the Centos forum regarding Java:

FWIW - Eclipse IDE 3.6.0 Helios from upstream will NOT work with the default Centos Java package. So you will need to install Sun's Java to get Eclipse working on Centos.
