I ran into the same problem a month ago with the Canadian government
sites. I plan to file an bugzilla for this against openjdk when I have

You have 2 options,

1. Install Sun Java from Sun's website. (untested)
2. Use Windows to complete the transaction. A virtual machine would be
just perfect for this. :)

Contrary to your experience I actually submitted my application on
Windows XP with firefox.
