While icedtea-web 1.6.2 does fixes a few bugs, this is not one of those.

Alain did reply to me in private saying that he was still seeing the
issue with the new icedtea-web and that downgrading to 7u111-2.6.7-1
got applets working again. So this is definitely a regression. Alain
also pointed me to a page with good applets to test this, the "Simple
upload" applet fails to run on the affected version:
http://demo.element-it.com/Examples/JavaPowUpload/index.htm

Meanwhile a new IcedTea release was out on experimental
(7u121-2.6.8-1), I tested it and I can confirm there is no regression
in it. It might take a while for a backport to show up, if you are
affected by this I recommend downgrading OpenJDK 7 as a workaround.


For future reference the actual error for the "Simple upload" applet is:
