Must have been an earlier version -- java-package doesn't (yet) support
Blackdown 1.4.2-02. I filed a bug (with patches):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325459

Anyway, I tried using make-jpkg on both j2re-1.4.2-02 and j2re-1.4.2-01.
Both have the same result -- they immediately crash at:
http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/tx.html

Can you please try that URL and tell me if firefox crashes for you? I
don't use java much and if it turns out that blackdown works for pretty
much everything except that game I'll see if I can report it as a bug to
blackdown. If the game does actually work for you, can you tell me what
version you're using?
$ dpkg -l '*j2re*'
should do the trick.

Thanks again,
Corey
