No, I can't.
*sigh*
openjdk decided to stop supporting the java plugin about a year or so ago, and the "workaround" is to install Sun's Java.

Mine works - hehehe.
This was answered yesterday on the list IIRC ;)

The relevant "java-sun-compat" and other widgets are over on JPackage, but awkwardly out of date. RHEL provides them as part of their "supplementary" packages, which is not completely integrated with CentOS.
If you need the latest/greatest, to play nicely, I can publish my .spec files for the various Sun/Oracle published components. My "jpackage-utils-compat-el5" package, in particular resolves some the RHEL/CentOS spacific requirements for the wildly out of date jpackage-utils components.

Well having not being able to understand why some people can not make a simple sym link baffles me really bad. Would be great if I could catch a look-see at the specs you got...

They're here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.jpackage.general/14404 in archives of this list.
I'm.... reluctant to say "here, stuff in extra symlinks in /usr/bin just for one package that are not actually part of that package". That way lies maintenance madness. It *is* possible to compile an RPM differently under different releases. or to it in a separate compatibility widget. (I went through that with OpenSSH recently, a custom version someone built on RHEL 3 and expected to work on RHEL 5: it was very confused about where "xauth" was.)
But I'm looking at http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/6.0/, and I'm not even seeing hooks for RHEL 4. Is it worth pursuing compatibility with that OS? Are other people using it?

Well all the source rpms are there. If they will build under EL4 that is another thing to see. i don't think it would be worth the effort in doing so in my opinion because of the age of EL4. On the other hand if I had applications running under EL4 then it would be an huge advantage to me in doing so. I would be trying my best to migrate them to at least EL5 asap. I would stick with EL5 and EL6 that's enough in itself to keep up with. Building for 3 different Java stacks (el 4,5,6) would be a pita.

This works for me.
To enable java, download and install the appropriate version for your architecture here. http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com .
For i386:
Navigate to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and create ln -s to /usr/java/jre*/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so.
For x86_64:
Navigate to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and ln -s to /usr/lib/java/jre*/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so.
HTH, YMMV B.J.
