This worked well for me too in getting java to run in Mozilla.  But how
about Galeon?  For the life of me I cannot find the plugins directory
for Galeon.  I suspect it probably is an alias to the Mozilla plugin
directory, but I haven't found it yet.  Would appreciate any tips.

Note I'm running unstable and using Galeon 1.3.4

Thanks
Kevin
