    On my new laptop, i am running Debian Lenny/Sid AMD64 and i'am very pleased with it. It is fast, stable and it provides everything i need. I switched completely to Linux (now also on the desktop), and i do not miss Windows one single day!

    Everything is working great, except one thing:
    I can't run Java applets in Iceweasel. I've tried the Debian package icedtea-gcjwebplugin but it does not always work.

    Can someone give me some information, what i have to do to run Java applets succesfully in Iceweasel on Debian AMD64?

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you tried to install the sun-java6* packages?

    Looks ok. When you search for mozilla in Synaptic, are there any Java plugins?

    Java on 64bit browser Iceweasel

    I did not find any java related package by using the search string "Mozilla". The problem is that there is no java6-plugin package available for amd64.
    I decided to install icedtea-gcjwebplugin package again. Now it's working quiet good! :) First. not, probably i did not restart Iceweasel after the first installation.

    About IcedTea:
    IcedTea provides a working browser plugin for 64-bit browsers under 64-bit Linux. This makes it suitable to enable support for Java applets in 64-bit Firefox, so also Iceweasel.
