If you've tried Fedora's free offerings and they don't satisfy your needs,
you may want to try a proprietary JRE.
- For example, you could try installing Sun's JRE at
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp . Please read its provided instructions for
installation. To setup such for Java applets handling on Firefox and relevant
internationalization support, please read JreOnFirefox.

If you do install a proprietary JRE, there is a caveat when working on 64-bit machines.
The 64-bit JNI libraries shipped by default on x86_64 systems in Fedora Core and Extras
will not run on 32-bit proprietary JREs. In other words, don't try to run
Fedora's x86_64 Eclipse packages on Sun's 32-bit JRE. They will fail in confusing
ways. Either switch to a 64-bit proprietary JRE, or install the 32-bit version of the
packages, if available. To install a 32-bit version, use the following command:
{{{yum install <package_name>.i386
}}}
