Why can't you use a native 64bit Java?
From sun's website at
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jre/install-linux-64.html
I find the following:
"Installation Instructions
This procedure installs the Java SE Runtime Environment, but not the
Java Plugin or Java Web Start (which are not yet available for 64-bit
Linux). The Java SE Runtime Environment for Linux 64-bit comes bundled
in two install formats, whose filenames are given here:
* Self-extracting binary:
jre-1_6_0_<version>-linux-amd64.bin
* RPM File:
jre-1_6_0_<version>-linux-amd64-rpm.bin
To install, download these files and otherwise follow the 32-bit Linux
installation."
So, understand sun does not provide 64bit java applet for linux yet.
apt's repos provide java-gcj-compat-plugin which does provide a java
applet, but my bank doesn't like it. I try to enter my passwd and it
says 'passwd field empty'.
