OpenJDK is an effort to put java open source (GPL "enabled"), but the JVM is not yet robust Sun JVM.

So if you want to change follow these steps:

Install Sun Java Runtime Environment

# sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin  sun-java6-fonts  sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin  


Change from OpenJRE to Sun JRE

# cd /etc/alternatives

Creating backup

# sudo mv java java_old
# sudo mv mozilla-javaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so.old

Creating Symbolic links

# sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java java
# sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so mozilla-javaplugin.so
