Problem getting Java to run in Chromium

[Spectrum]

Hi, all.

I am using Kubuntu 11.04 (64-bit) and Chromium 18.0.something. I have trouble getting Java to run.

I've tried this test page from java.com, which seems to confirm that my Java is not running: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Specifically, what I want to run is NemID (a login application used in Denmark). An example of it can be found here: https://ebanking.danskebank.dk/html/...N&secsystem=DI
(When it works, two input fields should appear in the right side of the page.)

I have icedtea-plugin installed. In Chromium under about: plugins, it shows up as: "IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.2 (1.2-2ubuntu0.11.04.1))". It is not disabled. I have tried checking the "Allow" box (and restarting Chromium), to no apparent effect.

Can anyone help? What might I be missing?

Thanks in advance!

PS: Java also fails in Opera, but it works in Firefox.

If my online banking website required that I use a Java plugin to access it, I would change banks. Java embedded into a browser is a huge glaring security hole IMO.

BTW, that Danskebank website is truly awful. Apart from being ugly, having many non-functional links and using frames, it does some pretty egregious OS and browser sniffing. It's as though the site's web designer hasn't had a new idea since the 1990s...

icedtea has always been dicey. Try the real Sun java plugin instead.

Thanks. I'm having trouble finding the Sun Java plugin. What is its name, and which repository do I need?
