That is the same problem Daniel reported earlier.  I now tracked this
down, those classes are actually shipped in the icedtea6-plugin
plugin.jar (I was searching for a netscape.jar all over the web).

However, as icedtea6-plugin is currently uninstallable (see #636514), we
will have to wait for the upload.

I managed to build jmol in a hacked-up unstable chroot installing an
older xulrunner-1.9.1 and openjdk.


Cheers,

Michael
