Which java packages are needed for playing online games


After he had some problems with Mint, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit on my friend's computer. I thought I installed java support (don't remember which packages I installed).
I've just received an email from him that one of his online card games doesn't work as it used to.

Which java packages on Ubuntu are necessary for such online applications? I'd like to email him a list to make sure all of them are installed.

Thank you

Hello,

The best way to assist is to send you this link - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
All needed information is on that page.

Cheers,

Josh

Thanks. It seems I'll have to go and visit him again to fix it.
