Could the submitters of these bug reports against sun-java5 and sun-java6, and anyone else who has experienced this problem, please re-test with OpenJDK 7 beta 22? As documented at <http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2007/08/msg00028.html>, you can obtain packages of "icedtea" ("a temporary fork of OpenJDK which allows building with a free toolchain and adding/replacing code which is not yet available under a free license") from http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/gutsy/ ; thanks to Matthias Klose and Michael Koch for these packages, and for updating them to beta 22 so quickly. (Disclaimer: I have not tried these packages. However, Matthias stated that "they are installable on sid".)
icedtea *is* installable on sid, and I can confirm that both NetBeans and the Java plugin work with icedtea.
Note: Make sure after installing these packages that you use the newly installed Java to test with; you may need to use update-alternatives to point the various Java alternatives to those provided by the icedtea packages.
Actually, you should use update-java-alternatives, which will update all the relevant alternatives.
