As far as I know it is recommended for the JRE browser plugin that you
use a symbolic link only to libjavaplugin_oji.so although other
plugins such as gnash and vlc can be copied to the plugins folder.

see http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java

I found that if I copied libjavaplugin_oji.so it didn't register
with Firefox and no applets would be displayed but it didn't
actually cause a crash as indicated in the link above.

All the best
