I would love to see the web console for VM's work with OpenJDK / Icedtea java plugin (in my case for ubuntu).
I feel your pain, this is a good solution to the problem:

IMHO it would be better to put effort into spice protocol instead of trying to fix the VNC java code.

Hey thanks! This works really well and easy. Also just looked up the spice protocol, and that does look promising.

Why is installing a package a "pain"? The Oracle Java is available on all platforms, easy installation in a few minutes.
BTW, are you sure that the problem is on the VNC java code and not on the OpenJDK browser plugin? As the console works great on Oracle Java, probably the issue is on the other side?
In contrast, the spice plugin for browser is not yet available on all platforms/browsers and all this is unstable/experimental code. I would like to have spice running but for managing servers the VNC console is also great. (virtual desktops is another story).
Hi,
If you decide to use Oracle Java, look at this project oab-java https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6
This project let you create local apt repository with oracle-java6 and oracle-java7, it's fully legal with Oracle licensing model.
In plus for this project is fact that it's using original debian/ubuntu scripts for creating deb files from oracle bin installers.
Additionally it's very easy to use and very stable - I use it on all servers with Tomcat6 + Java Apps.
