Roughly, same code, different trademarked names.

Installed icetea-gcjwebplugin? It works very well here. Not perfectly,
still a few Java applets I can't run (most notably, Processing

I see a couple more Java plugins are available in experimental, but
I'm not feeling adventurous enough to try them.
