I think Tim was saying that you don't need the JDK, just the JRE.  The 
JDK is kinda irrelevant to plugins.

I'm not sure but I think the browsers have disable the Java 7 plugin due 
to a serious security flaw in that particular version.  My browser 
insists on using the Java 6 plugin.  I'd suggest you download the Java 6 
JRE.  That should allow to install the plugin.  (It's no problem having 
two versions of Java on the same machine; it works just fine.)
