So, you actually created ibm-j2re1.5, right? If not, at least file a
bugreport (see the package reportbug) with severity wishlist against
java-package to tell them what your problem is.

I don't know anything about how Opera works with Java, but I'd guess
that if the IBM jre 1.5 has the proper plugin, why exactly couldn't you
use, say, Firefox? Different ABI's?

If you actually end up installing Opera, be sure to change its default
identification from IE to Opera, so that the commercial sites you are
using actually know that their customers happen to exercise their right
to choose.
And keeping an eye on the Free Java implementations isn't a bad thing
also. They're evolving quite fast lately.
