F14: can't get java running

[Tony Camuso]

OK, so in my fervor to delete IcedTea, I "yum erase"d java. 

So, to get java back, I did the following:

# yum groupinstall Java

I could not locate the libjavaplugin_oji.so file, so I installed 
the jre as follows. 

# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck jre-6u22-linux-i586.rpm 
# ln -sf /usr/java/jre1.6.0_22/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

However, when I ran the Java test at ...
   http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

... I got the following error.
 
"Something is wrong. Java is not working."

I discovered that ps says java is not running. 

# ps aux | grep -i java
root      8986  0.0  0.0   4468   740 pts/3    S+   18:31   0:00 grep --color=auto java

OK, so I created the following file, as recommended at 
http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc2/custom_java.html

# cat /etc/profile.d/java.sh 
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jre1.6.0_22"
export JAVA_PATH="$JAVA_HOME"
export PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin" 

Logged out, logged back in, still no joy. 
Got the same error message at the java test site. 

Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Here are some directory listings.
