Yes, I'm using the JDK.

# ll /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 68 4 Feb 10:17 /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/amd64/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

What does your about:plugins page say?

There's a project named IcedTea that builds OpenJDK with the

manually for it to work. I have not had any problems with the plugin on
