Well, I was using epiphany (epiphany-browser 2.29.92-1) on an up-to-date Debian
unstable system and icedtea6-plugin 6b18~pre2-1.
The java support is not working (I tested a few websites which I know have java
applets).

I'm not sure how the java plugin is supposed to work if it has unresolved
library dependencies [1], but switching to sun-java6-plugin made the applets
work in epiphany. I searched for existing bug reports and this one seemed like a
reasonable explanation why icedtea6-plugin was not working.
