At $WORKPLACE I use a Java app (via javaws) - EMC NetWorker

username+password have been entered), whilst it does work with
Sun/Oracle java 6 and 7. I would much rather use OpenJDK but I haven't
a clue how to track down what the problem is, knowing next to nothing
about java.
We will try to fix this if we can get enough information.
FWIW -- and you may be surprised by this -- javaws and the browser
plugin aren't part of Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) or of
OpenJDK but are a different project (IcedTea-Web) altogether.
We have had very few compatibility issues with Java SE itself.
