Package: icedtea6-plugin
Version: 6b18-1.8.7-2
Severity: grave
Followup-For: Bug #606420

Hi, 

as far as I can tell, icedtea6-plugin is not working at all for all the
websites I tried so far (both in iceweasel and in chromium):

http://javatester.org/version.html
http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/ArcTest/example1.html
http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/BarChart/example1.html
… and plenty of others.

For both browsers, the plugin throws: 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
sun/applet/PluginMain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.applet.PluginMain
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)
	at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
	at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321)
	at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)
Could not find the main	class:	sun.applet.PluginMain. Program will exit.

… and the browser is made unresponsive (chromium warns after some time
and marks all tabs as crashed).

Hence I am rising the severity of this bug to grave, as this bug "makes the
package in question unusable or mostly so". I'd be happy to be proven
wrong, but from what I can understand and see, the package is unuseable
as is.

Cheers, 

OdyX
