Hi,

Wanting to test my blog for mobile visitors, I headed over to
http://www.opera.com/mini/demo/ to see. Sadly, that demo does not
render in my Opera browser... Is there a bug or do I need a Java
Runtime Environment?

You definitely need java for that.

You do. Opera should say that it needs one if one isn't installed when you
try to access that page. If not, there is a clue at the bottom of the
page: "Powered by MicroEmulator, a pure Java implementation of Java 2
Micro Edition in Java 2 Standard Edition licensed under LGPL."

Strangely, it does not do so. Besides, i was under the impression java
was built into Opera?

JavaScript is built into opera. Java is not. Despite the confusion
caused by the similarity in names, they are two very different
items.

Ok, I see... Doing "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" in terminal
on my Ubuntu installation solved it indeed. Too bad Opera does not
point out it needs a missing plugin. Or is that something that is
lacking on that demo page?

You don't need the "plug-in" though. You only need java (so that would
probably be "sun-java6-jre"). (Support for *using* java is indeed built
into Opera.)
