Help: installing a Java-based plugin


Hello. I'm using the ALEKS system for my math class, and the website says that the required plugin can be installed on a Linux system manually by saving it in the directory Java VM lib/ext.
The only problem is that I don't have any such directory in my file system. I tried extracting the files and saving them in my usual Java directory, but to no avail. I don't necessarily need someone who is familiar with the ALEKS system; just someone who can tell me how to get this type of plugin running. I can't seem to find a suitable directory.

here's the page for reference. http://www.aleks.com/downloads/linux_jvm

If it helps, I'm using Iceweasel and Java 6.0.02

Thanks.

My lib/ext folder lives at /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext.
