It's probably an issue with the browser, the plugin, the JVM and/or
the libc combined together as they are.

Have you tried Everybuddy or Gaim for ICQ? There's a bunch of ICQ
clients out there.

There are other JVMs (such as 'kaffe' or 'gcj') but they aren't as
complete or up-to-date as the Sun/Blackdown one.
I've attached the source and bytecode for a "hello world" program.
Save the .class file somewhere and try "java Hello" in the directory
you saved it. In addition, if you want, you can try compiling from
the source yourself. (the command is "javac Hello.java", same command
to run it)
If this works, then you know the basics of the jvm work. If this
fails, you've got bigger problems. (FWIW I use the 'j2sdk1.3' package
daily at work for java development)

It's more like "write once, test everywhere you can, go back and
rewrite it to work on the other platforms, then test again, then shoot
yourself because it is virtually impossible to add the next feature in
a cross-platform manner". (that's how I've paid the bills this past
year)
