Too many posts, and I'm too lazy to read all of those... anyway, here are my experiences regarding Java on FC7.
I recently installed FC7 twice (was forced to replace some hardware including MB, CPU, RAM, HDD, ...) after first install.
Anyway, the first time I installed it, I couldn't make Limewire install 'cause Sun java couldn't be detected on my system. This never happened to me before. After installing FC7 again, and installing JDK1.6u2, Firefox plugin wouldn't work, BUT, Java1.5.0_12 plugin worked just fine. Since I'm the only user on the system, I simply place the plugin link in ~user/.mozilla/plugins/
Now, when I tried to use Java1.6u2 plugin, Firefox didn't report it missing anymore, but it didn't work. The other one works just fine.
Also, if I remember correctly, I was able to install Limewire only after installing jre1.5.0_12 (JDK1.6u2 didn't work), and it didn't take any additional tuning (like I had to do on FC6) than installing it.
Hope someone here finds this useful.
