Here's how to run a Java applet in Fedora on RHEL 6 Linux:

1) Download the Java RPM from http://www.java.com

2) Install the RPM

3) Create a symbolic link to the Java shared library:

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.7.0_67/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

4) Restart Firefox

5) Confirm that you see the Java information when you type "about:plugins" in Firefox, on the locaiton bar.
