No need to do that.
The "java test page" just tells you 2 things:
- If your browser detects "any" java plugin installed
- If the detected java plugin is the latest version available
In your case, I guess it is detecting the java plugin but just "warns"
you about the version you have installed. If that is case, ignore that
warning and do not download nor install anything from there.
Can you run FreeNet from Iceape?

Yes.

You have to test it with Midori, the browser you are going to use to
launch Freenet.
BTW, what are the results of the java test page runned from Midori?
