expose_full_path gives:

the GCJ Web *Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.2 is found in:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so

and the Java Plug-in:
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_07/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

This is where I found it after installing the Sun Java, so it seems to fit.
I moved the *.rpm.bin to /usr/java and executed the .bin there.

Could I have crossed my eyes and downloaded the wrong Java from the
Sun site?
Now there are so many details on the table that I am struggling
against my own confusion. :-)
