That's just the thing... "some" java applets also worked for me before, but 
not all. If I remember correctly, there is some sort of issue with Mozilla 
based browsers, Java and Motif. If I remember correctly, Motif and the Java 
plugin have to be compiled using the same gcc and Mozilla browsers, including 
Firefox use the Motif library.
I don't know if this is related to St George in particular, I was also at the 
time trying to solve another Java problem I was having (with Eclipse). The 
fact that it works now may be a by product of everything else I have done.

Unfortunately I have a very non-standard setup on my very non-standard laptop.

In any case, just symlinking the java plugin even in Epiphany may not be 
enough, you may have to recompile it.
