Timothy, my apologies, I had meant to mark the icedtea-gcjplugin as
"Won't Fix" on the basis that all work upstream is now focused on the
new IcedTea Plug-in which will be available soon. Corrected it now.
IcedTea Plug-in will solve the applet parameter and Javascript
LiveConnect issues too.

** Changed in: icedtea-gcjwebplugin (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Won't Fix

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
