Bug Description

I have the icedtea-7-plugin installed, plus openjdk-7-jre (plus dependencies) installed.

If I go to a webpage with a java applet, the applet won't load and I get this error message instead:

icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

I would have expected the plugin to work with the openjdk-7-jre installation, since it doesn't list any of the java-6 files as dependencies.
