I have found a perhaps better solution, at least for 32-bit-Ubuntu. The thing is, that Sun Java JRE is no longer in ubuntu-restricted- extras. It has been replaced by OpenJDK and the Icedtea plugin. But those don't work as well as Sun Java.
These are the steps I followed: 1. I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras on a clean installation of the Release Candidate of 8.04 (32-bit edition) 2. Afterwards, simply installing Sun Java JRE and plugin is not enough. First you have to completely remove OpenJDK and the Icedtea plugin in Synaptic. Only then you should install Sun Java JRE and plugin. Then everything works fine again (at least on my computers). It's a pity that Sun Java JRE has been replaced in ubuntu-restricted- extras. Now a lot of people will have to do this manual correction afterwards.
