I can't seem to get the Java6 plugin working on my 64-bit
testing/unstable system. I have the following installed:

    sun-java6-bin                                   install
    sun-java6-jre                                   install
    sun-java6-plugin                                install

The Sun JVM seems to be the system default:

    $ update-alternatives --display java

    Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java.

and yet Iceweasel steadfastly refuses to acknowledge the java6 plugin in
about:plugins. Has anyone actually gotten the 64-bit java6 plugin to
work, and if so, what is the missing incantation?



update-alternatives --display  iceweasel-javaplugin.so

 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so.
alex, your current one isn't pointing to sun's.. note the "gcj" in the plugin name means it isn't from sun.. todd, try to confirm if you have similarly what alex has, but of course make sure your link is about the javaplugin.. 

as a quick test, you can use in the url box-> "about:plugins"
