Bug Description
Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
Java Applets no longer work. In Epiphany, you get a box saying "Click here to download plugin." Clicking the box does nothing, as it's obviously unconnected hangover from Firefox.
However, even in Firefox, installing any of sun-java-5, sun-java-6 fails to work, and installing icedtea kind of works, but not very well at all.
This is a huge regression in functionality from 7.10!

I believe it is because the plugin does not register with epiphany. The Java plugin (sun, icedtea or any other) should do it (I am not sure, if the just have to make correct links in /etc/alternatives or something more is needed).
