Ok, so one needs to install openjdk packages from Debian experimental: $ wajig install -t experimental openjdk-6-jre $ wajig install icedtea6-plugin Then install the plugin to iceweasel by hand: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505726 now the js->applet communication works, e.g. clicking the buttons change the applet color here: http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/samples/ColorBlockApplet.html unfortunately, the apple->js communication doesn't work (does jmol need it?). Now jmol applets show the loading page and the number of secons increases in the lower right corner. But it never loads in full. It seems like an openjdk problem, which still needs to be fixed.
