does iceweasel have java plugin?



Using iceweasel, I am failing to connect to my university's VPN website.
This was working a few years ago.  There's a point when the site tries to
install Jupiter Network Connect.  All I get at that point now is an error:
"JRE not installed/Java is disabled".

I do have Java packages installed (gcj-4.4-jre, sun-java6-bin, etc.).  In
/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins, I see:

  libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so

which in turn points to:

  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

However, if I do about:plugins in iceweasel, it lists nothing for java or
libnpjp2.  I thought those should be displayed with about:plugins.  The
system is up-to-date Wheezy, with iceweasel 10.0.7esr-2.

So can the browser use java/JRE or not?  And if not, how can I fix that?

Thanks.
