Java Applets on Trusty Thar (14.04)

I had trouble with my net-bank in Lucid Lynx, which problem was solved by installing the sun-java6-plugin.
(this is the ominous page)

Now, after switching to Trusty Thar, my net-banking site still does not work out of the box, because java does not come preinstalled with Ubuntu, so I have to try and find the best option for myself again.

Luckily this time it was enough to install icedtea-7-plugin through synaptic, and the Java Applet of my net-bank works smoothly.
