Comment 28 for bug 152362

I tried Matthew's method, and met with moderate success. I was able to load the test applet on java.com, but unable to load the applet which Facebook uses for the upload of pictures.

I also tried to use the icedtea-java7-bin_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb, icedtea-java7-jre_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_all.deb, icedtea-java7-plugin_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb, and others from the URL given above, but met with equal success/failure (depending on your choice of optimism/pessimism, I guess).

I know it's not icedtea, but I really want to have a working java plugin, so I tried downloading the jdk1.7.0 JDK from https://jdk7.dev.java.net/. I heard that there was a plugin in it, but I looked in jre/lib/amd64 and didn't see anything that looked like it would be a plugin.

Using the b22 packages, Brian's test works.
