Not quite the correct thing to do, Dan. openSUSE is an rpm-based distribution,
so you should always look for the correctly packaged solution before 'rolling
your own' or installing tarballs or installing binaries packaged for
other/generic distributions.
First, reverse the steps you followed, above, to restore the system to it's
former state. Next, drill down from the opensuse.org main page to the
installation options page and locate the instructions for adding the Java
installation source... add that, then launch YaST's 'Software Management'
module to add the version(s) you want.
hth & regards,

Maybe i was not quite clear on what I did. I already had java installed
using yast. But to get java working in firefox you need to add the
plugin. Those instructions allowed me to use java in the browser. I
could not access any java app in the browser without doing this. Java
itself is working fine and I now have java support in firefox. I
reverse my steps and the bouncing goes away, but then I have no java
support in firefox. If this is the wrong way of getting this support
please let me know what is the correct way.
Thanks,
Dan.
