I was thinking about DESKTOP APPS, those that run with java -jar appname.jar. OpenJDK, the gpl version of java, does not include the "browser plug-in". That is what you use when you need _applets_ to run.

OpenJDK, the Java VM, imho runs quite well, for _desktop_ apps. I rarely notice any difference between OpenJDK 7 and the propietary Java VM (JRE) that you download from Java.com on Windows machines. Also, there is always the option of installing the "freeware" Sun/Oracle JRE from Java.com...
