Chrome FAIL: No Out-of-the-Box Java Support

JavaMy only complaint so far with Google Chrome (only complaint really) is that it has no support for Java “out-of-the-box.”  When viewing a page or web app that requires Java, it shows the plugin icon, like FireFox, however, clicking on the plugin icon does nothing.  After searching around I came accross a distribution of Java that semi works here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

However it only works half-ass.  After instalation of this distro, the screens that are Java powered show some of the text, but most of the presentation is actually black.

Come one Google, make it work!

Does anyone have a better version, or a more compatible version of Java for Google Chrome? Let me know!
