If you have installed java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin, there should be a 
symlink between gcjwebplugin.so and libjavaplugin.so. You can easily 
create another symlink between gcjwebplugin.so and 
libjavaplugin_oji.so if needed.

You might also want to upgrade the package to java-1.6.0-openjdk. This 
now replaces java-1.7.0-icedtea.
