The same problem happens also in Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geogebra/+bug/749271

Some classes disappeared from OpenJDK and I'm trying to understand how
difficult it would be to have them back again.

The other option is to remove from Geogebra the code depending on
netscape.javascript.*. Given that Geogebra in Debian is meant to be used
just as an application, this shouldn't hurt that much. Some work would
be needed anyway.

I'll work deeper in this issue next weekend.

Giovanni.
