The plugin does not properly start HP RiLOE II remote console

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
I have a java jar file, which is used by the HP RiLOE II remote console board. The applet is embedded into the web interface of the RiLOE like so:

<!-- Use jar based archive -->
document.writeln("<APPLET CODE = \"remcons.class\" ARCHIVE = \"remcons.jar\"");
document.writeln("width="+consoleWidth+" height="+consoleHeight+">");
document.writeln("<PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE = \"remcons.jar\" >");
document.writeln("<PARAM NAME=\"DUALCURSOR\" VALUE=\"false\">");

The applet only produces a gray square area, with so signs of any interactivity.

When the applet does work, using the official JDK, the applet displays a screen of my server, which I can use to remote control it.

Please note that on AMD64, I'm forced to using IcedTea as the official Sun JRE does not provide a web plugin!
