I have the following packages installed, because they were required by 
other packages:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.6.0.0-42.b18.fc13.i686
java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-32.fc13.i686
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-42.b18.fc13.i686
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-42.b18.fc13.i686
java_cup-0.11a-4.fc13.noarch
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-42.b18.fc13.i686
jre-1.6.0_21-fcs.i586

You should have a directory
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
In that dir, there should be a symlink:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      34 Aug 14 16:15 libjavaplugin.so -> 
/etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 Aug 14 16:15 
/etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so -> 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so

$ rpm -qf --whatprovides 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-42.b18.fc13.i686
