The point here is to determine if you already have the Java JRE installed 
and the output of "update-alternatives --config" you said before

Yes. Two questions about this:

1/ What about the "about:plugins" in Iceape? Can you see the Sun's java 
JRE there?

2/ Can you run any java applet from Iceape? Go here and copy/paste the
