So it occurred to me that if the java plugin is now using the standard 
NPAPI interface, perhaps we could use the linux plugin from sun-jre6 
via the nspluginwrapper but unfortunately when I tried I got this 
error:

# nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libnpjp2.so
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** 
ERROR: /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libnpjp2.so: undefined symbol: 
__gxx_personality_v0
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found 
for /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libnpjp2.so
