The package is not standard part of Java. It is provided by plugin.jar. 
In Fedora <= 15 plugin.jar was included with the JDK (if the 
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin package was installed). Now plugin.jar is 
provided by icedtea-web.

I think one possible fix would be to BuildRequire icedtea-web and 
include /usr/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar in the classpath.
