Bug Description

If you follow the official documentation to install java browser plugin in Hardy you read at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/web-browsing.html that "If you are using an AMD64 computer install the j2re1.4-mozilla.plugin package from the “Multiverse” repository." but in this last repo there is no j2re1.4-mozilla.plugin app.
I think it is a misleading info that bring the user to think it has a problem in his repository configs (let's consider moreover that it comes from the official documentation).

This file was removed when I streamlined this section in Karmic's release cycle. Installing flash is described in web-apps.xml but does not reference this package.
