Missing plugin directory in jdk and jre downloads - linux

I just downloaded and installed the jdk1.5.0_12 update and the jre1.5.0_12 64bit on my linux(FC6 x86_64) machine and there is no plugin directory under jdk1.5.0_12/jre or under jre1.5.0_12/. What gives ? I want to install the java plugin on my firefox browser and it's not included in the download - please help.

Some 64 bit JRE's don't include the Java Plugin. Check the configuration requirements for the JRE version you intalled.

Thank you - I didn't realize (just found this on the install instructions):

This procedure installs the JDK, but not the Java Plug-in or Java Web Start (which are not yet available for 64-bit Linux), or the public Java 2 Runtime Environment.
