In the Planet M.U.L.E. FAQ, it says Linux users must download Java from Sun (Oracle?) but Linux users usually have JRE in their software repositories.  It is better for those users to use these software packages, such as OpenJDK, rather than to install Sun's version.

Seems to work on Fedora 11, at least, with java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-30.b16.fc11.x86_64

java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6) (fedora-30.b16.fc11-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

I doubt it would be any different on Fedora 12.  I didn't do any extensive testing, however.

I assume the FAQ is trying to say that you should use the JRE of Sun (i.e. not kaffe or the GNU gcj implementation etc.) since that's what the game is tested and built against, no matter how you install it. Both the proprietary and the open source (openjre/openjdk) variants should work then since the differences are really minor.
