I think such cases have to be clear for everybody: if you need Java and you really can't live without it, go for 32bit. Yast/whatever tool and the Documentation should offer an easy way for this. And then it should clearly be noted that many other things might get broken. For those users, a pure 32bit system might be better suitable then (or maybe a VM)
Java works fine with 64bit konqueror btw. Konqueror doesn't require the sun plugin.
Well this does not run all applets. Some applets only produce a "applet failed" error, while others work.
The other problem with installing 32bit firefox for java is that it also requires 32bit java. Java applets may be used less frequently now but there are many java applications, and many people do java development.
