The description from that bug is included below.
Note that I've added the original bug submitter to the
interest list for this bug. If they are external-to-Sun,
then currently there is no easy way for them to update
the Bugster bug. That's been worked on.

If you need to ask an external-to-Sun original submitter
for further information, please consider adding a comment to
the OpenSolaris bug and get them to place it there.

Java runtime seems to process only when logged as root, symptoms are:

1 - If I access this page http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml as root
the applet runs ok, but accessing from a opensolaris user account the applet
doesn't shows up.

2 - jcontrol access from root allows add, enable and disable java runtime, but
doing it from user account, jcontrol isn't updated.

   This problem was noticed after updating all packages from 2009.06 snv 111 to
snv131.
