java plugin for mozilla

[Thufir]

Except for the fact that it doesn't work there are no error messages I 
can find as to why java.com would fail to detect java:

thufir at arrakis:~$ sudo aptitude search sun-java6-plugin

thufir at arrakis:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

There is only 1 program which provides java
(/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure.

apparently the solution is to create a symlink?  I'm not clear what needs 
to be linked to what.
