The last Linux version of flash is available on the Adobe site. I do not
know if there is a Fedora package nor on which 'third part site' that
you might find it, Java for Linux is still available from Oracle.
However most Linux users here will tell you to use the Java from Fedora.
Which I do not.

I am not a Linux purest or a zealot. I use what works for me. Which gets
my butt kicked around from time to time.  :-)
