Recently I came across issue with using the Iced Tea for run my java code in Ubuntu OS and this behavior is inconsistent , even after looking at number of online posts didn’t help in figuring out the exact cause or the work around to fix it . Hence I finally decide to remove IcedTea and install Sun version of Java .
Below are the steps that one need to follow to install Sun java in Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin
Restart the system and you can verify the installation by typing java –version in terminal
Also you can check the java plugin for browser by Open FF -> Tools -> Add On ->Plugin
Before doing the above steps make sure you have uninstalled the IcedTea through Symantec manager(the package management system in Ubuntu) and to launch it one will have to navigate through System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
