Bug Description

When I go to webpage where java applet needed, I see the pictures where when I
click opens the plugin installation window. If there is no java system installed
to my computer I am redirected to the SUN website.
I think its wrong. I must be proposed to install some noncomercial java instead.
For example blackdown, that is in the ubuntu (multiverse ? ) reposidory.

Giedrius,

Thanks for your report.

Is this still an issue? Open source java vms have come a long way and sun is releasing java under the GPL.
