Hi japheth The patch modifies Java's C programmed base, and therefore requires a complete rebuild of Java from source code.
To apply it on Ubuntu you'd need to learn a little about Ubuntu software packaging [0] and package maintenance [1], or compile your own independent version of either OpenJDK or IcedTea [2]. I'm hoping to find time to do this work myself for the IcedTea packages, then I will upload a debdiff file here which can be used to create an updated Ubuntu package and would hopefully (if approved) make it into a proper Ubuntu update.
