When I first installed icedtea-bin there was no icedtea package, so I tried to compile it myself using online instructions and gave up in frustration. I'm glad you asked, because now I'll try the icedtea package instead. I just noticed the icedtea-web package, which supplies an nsbrowser java plugin. I don't know if the 'plugin' errors you were seeing are related to the browser java plugin or some other plugin library, but I'm going to install both packages tomorrow and give them a try. I assume you need to eselect the java-nsplugin as well as the java-vm if you install icedtea-web. I'll try it.
