    Yes. However, many Java applets are (unfortunately) written to take
    advantage of features in the Sun or other proprietary JREs that are not
    yet implemetned in the free Java tools. If you are shooting for maximum
    compatibility I would recommend that you download the Sun JRE and use
    java-package to create a Debian package you can intstall natively.
