That´s because you´re missing the Java _plug-in_.
See, Java is two things. A virtual machine (VM) or JRE (runtime
environment). That allows running desktop java applications.
And then there´s the Java plug-in, a single file that´s installed in
the browser and acts as interface between the browser and the Java
runtime.
In your desktop PC, open Firefox, then type "about:plugins" in the URL
entry field.
You´ll notice:
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U16
File name: npjp2.dll
Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_16 for Mozilla browsers
Well, that single DLL is the "Java plug-in".
I bet there´s no plug-in for Maemo browsers, and that´s it.
If that´s the case, then it´s the same situation that happened with
64-bit Linux, which had a Sun JRE; but not a browser plug-in, for
years. http://bitbud.com/tag/java-64bit-jre-firefox-proxmox/
