mozilla, galeon, netscape have java support (see the 'j2sdk1.3'
package from blackdown).  Not exactly light though.  I use galeon
myself, and have it start when I login and leave it running in its own
workspace.  (I like GNOME too)  It's kinda like emacs -- so heavy that
you start it once and never quit it because it takes too long to
startup again.
