I have it working under Netscape 7.02 without a problem. I downloaded 
the j2re package from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html 
called j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin. Did the following:
chmod +x j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin
./j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin
rpm -ivh j2re-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
/usr/local/netscape7.02/plugins/

After that, it worked fine. It was one of those small projects I'd never 
gotten around to, but it was a simple fix.
