That sucks. I thought Open JDK was a full replacement. I guess it is
not so for applets. I imagine that Debian is the same?

It seemed that when OpenJDK jumped onto the scene, there were lots of
unimplemented things, but then it seemed as if it became the standard.
I guess that Oracle changed the licensing for its JDK for distribution
and I thought that OpenJDK filled the hole.
