["Timothy G. Rundle" <tgrundle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  It seems like TJ's fix corrects and existing bug, but don't not
address the original bug report from what i can tell.  I believe Matti
and I came to the conclusion that the rrot cause was that the missing
height and width on the page wasn't valid, but since the sun plugin
handles the tag, the icedtea-gcjwebplugin should as well.

I am not clear on why the icedtea-gcjwebplugin association was marked as
invalid nor why the patch i submitted hasn't be considered.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: icedtea-java7-plugin

I am trying to access an applet from http://www.jigzone.com. The applet fails to load with error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.start(PluginMain.java:211)
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.main(PluginMain.java:73)


I am running Hardy Alpha 6 (firefox3, icedtea-java7). The applet works just fine on my Gutsy box (firefox2, sun6).

I have attached the complete console output
