../../../lib/jvm/java should be a symlink to /etc/alternatives/java_sdk,
which should be a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun (set up using
"alternatives"), which should be a symlink to java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.09.

By following all of these symlinks, libjavaplugin_oji.so should point to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.09/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
