I just confirmed on a fresh 11.10 VM that this also affects
openjdk-7-jdk.

With a fresh 11.10 installation, sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
resulted in /usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64.jinfo with the
following final line:

plugin -javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-
amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

Even though icedtea7-plugin isn't working in 11.10, when it does work,
this line will need to read "mozilla-javaplugin.so" instead of
"-javaplugin.so":

plugin mozilla-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-
amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

Title:
  jinfo plugin alternative should be mozilla-javaplugin.so instead of
  -javaplugin.so

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

Bug description:
  The openjdk-6-jdk package creates
  /usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.6.0-openjdk.jinfo

  The last line of this file defines the alternative for the Firefox java plugin
  plugin -javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

  Running update-java-alternatives with the original file results in an
  error of "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for
  -javaplugin.so."

  # sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-1.6.0-openjdk
  update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for -javaplugin.so.

  This happens because there is no /etc/-javaplugin.so alternative
  defined.  The correct alternative is /etc/mozilla-javaplugin.so.

  If you add "mozilla" to "-javaplugin.so" in /usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.6.0-openjdk.jinfo, update-java-alternatives runs correctly.
  plugin mozilla-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

  Please add "mozilla" to that line when the openjdk-6-jdk package
  installer generates /usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.6.0-openjdk.jinfo

  Please also check openjdk-7-jdk for the same issue.  I am running
  11.10, so icedtea7-plugin is not available for me to check if the same
  issue occurs with openjdk-7-jdk.  Someone should check it in 12.04,
  where I understand icedtea7-plugin is working.

  Thanks for the good work on the openjdk packages.
