Are you running a 64bit system? If so, you might want to check out http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/ Most 32-bit plugins won't work in 64-bit linux systems. Nspluginwrapper tries to bridge the gap... and sometimes even works. Also note the note in the download page: *Linux x64 download:* Please use the 32-bit version for Java applet and Java Web Start support. If you're not runnign a 64-bit system, at least this info might help someone else. It frustrated the hell out of me figuring it out...
