Java on ubuntu

[Alfred Vahau]

I wanted to build my own class files so I downloaded the jdk and jre 
from the sun site and installed them under /usr/local.
I included the correct path in /etc/profile and set up the correct 
environment for Java. No problems.
But I cannot execute any of the applets under the demo directory in 
Firefox. It is looking for a plug-in.
I think installation by non-Ubuntu way, i.e not using the apt-get 
install is causing this problem.
How do I get my Breezy system to deal with my manually installed Java 
files..
