When I copied libjavaplugin_oji.so to the 2002032321 plugins directory, I just used cp ... and it copied the symlinked file from java2 subdirectory instead of copying the actual libjavaplugin_oji.so symlink into the java2/plugins directory; this caused Mozilla to crash when java was exercised. When I copied using cp -a ..., the symlink was copied instead of the actual file and everything works just fine.
Apparently the libjavaplugin_oji.so MUST be a symbolic link into the file in java2/plugins! To avoid this confusion in the future, I just put the java2 directory in a safe place and put the libjavaplug_oji.so symlink in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory. With this installation, java is available when a new version is installed; no action is necessary.
