Hi Todd,

I had a month ago some issues with java+iceweasel configuration. I did
not read this whole thread, maybe the following information will not be
relevant.

Under Lenny/Squeeze amd64, here is my configuration:

{{{
apt-get remove --purge icedtea-gcjwebplugin
}}}

{{{
apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin iceweasel
}}}

If necessary you must specify that you want to use the "sun-java6-*"
packages as default on your system:
{{{
update-alternatives --config java
update-alternatives --config javac
}}}

Do not forget to enable the java __plugin__ (Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_14)
under iceweasel.

Restart it and check `about:plugins`, if you see Java(TM) Plug-in
1.6.0_14 information.

And then go to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml.

Did you see the dancing Duke logo?
