    The IBM JRE and JDK I have are from the beta period, and only
libjavaplugin_oji.so is present.  Are your downloads the GA versions?  I
 am dowloading them now, but will not be able to check them out until
tomorrow.
    Since the pre-GA downloads only have the *_oji.so file, I am
inclined to default to that library, unless the difference in
functionality is overwhelmingly better.  Persons wishing to tweak their
plugin usage could always install an extra alternative.
