I was unable to get the icedtea java plugin to work on Ubuntu Jaunty
x86_64 after trying all the suggestions on this thread, and others I
found elsewhere.

However, I just discovered that Sun now provides a 64 bit plugin and
it's in the Ubuntu repositories. I simply uninstalled icedtea java and
installed the sun-java6-plugin package and it works on all the sites
I've tested so far using Firefox 3.5.4pre.

I prefer open source but it looks like for now we have to use the Sun
plugin because for whatever reason the icedtea plugin just doesn't work.
And by the way, as others have commented it used to work under Jaunty,
and I don't know when or why it stopped working.

Binary package hint: icedtea6-plugin

Having installed the icedteam plugin for the web, I've found it does not work. Going to this test URL results in failure:

http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

CPU utilisation spams to 100% and no java applets are working.

I have the current Jaunty repo revision installed, which is the following:

nullack@PPP:~$ sudo apt-cache policy icedtea6-plugin

FireFox knows that it is installed:

    The IcedTea Java Web Browser Plugin 1.4.1 (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu4) executes Java applets.
