Thanks Gustavo,

Yes, you have got the expected result. This is very strange. I am not 
sure whether this is problem with playing wine/winetools package or 
having the j2re package from dag wieers, but I managed to solve this 
problem by removing both of them and get the java plugin from jre-1.5.0 
linked to my browser i.e. firefox. Thanks for the confirmation.

Cheers,
Alimin
