A good answer to this issue is provided here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/450683/java-plugin-in-chromium
Quote:
Java (IcedTea) doesn't have a PPAPI plugin available,
and so it's not usable in Chromium, since Chromium 34 in Trusty
has switched to the Aura rendering framework
and no longer allows NPAPI plugins.
