Bug Description
Binary package hint: at
i have downloaded and installed java from the sun web site, and when i try to run something that requires java from a web site it tells me
that i don't have java installed or i need the plugin. I have installed the java from the Package Manager, still no success.

I have the same issue in Hardy Heron full update. When I go to a site that requires java (my browser has java enabled in preferences -> content) firefox always says that "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". Obviously I install the required plugin (I tested gcj web browser plugin - the plug-in se 6 - gcj web browser plugin using openjdk) but with no success.
I tested this with various java URLs.
(in firefox preferences -> applications -> content type I see no java content)
