I've run gcjwebplugin successfully on another PC, running 32-bit
x86 debian testing and fvwm. It's the 64-bit version I can't get
running. fvwm don't seem to be the problem (unless 32-bit fvwm work
but not 64-bit).

When using jamvm and packages from testing, I get this:

sid:~> /usr/lib/classpath/gappletviewer http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gnu/classpath/tools/appletviewer/Main

When running cacao and packages from unstable, I get this:

 MK> That looks more like a mising libgcjX-awt package.

Well, I have both libgcj7-1-awt and libgcj8-1-awt installed.
