Not that I know of, it hasn't been released yet (still beta). I've read on the www that you can extract just the libnpjp2.so file from the archive and drop it in on top of your current sun-jre installation, then make a symlink to it your firefox plugins directory. I haven't actually tried it as I can't remember the last time I ran into java on the web.
