You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK,

Status in Source Package "openjdk-6" in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
OpenJDK Web Start would not work with FXTrade applet at www.oanda.com. The applet loads normally, but then can't seem to connect to the server. I tried clearing the cache with no effect.
On the Oanda web site there is also a desktop version of their FXTrade interface. This worked with OpenJDK but did not really install properly since no desktop configuration file was created.
After completely uninstalling OpenJDK and using java-6-sun, both versions of the app worked perfectly.
Hopefully this info is helpful to someone who knows a bit more about Java than I do!
My Platform is Ubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3 Beta 5.
