    Yes, that's what I meant.

    I wasn't asking whether there's an official Debian package
    for the Sun Java. I knew that's impossible exactly for the reason
    you explain. What I was asking was whether there are _free_ Java
    components usable as a browser plugin and if there are, which Debian
    package contains them.

    Well, I didn't explicitly say that, but I mentioned the standard Debian
    way, which usually means that you use official _free_ Debian packages
    if possible.

    Thanks for your response, anyway.

    Regards,
    Ryo
