In the last few weeks, Chromium has made leaps and bounds in functionality (with only a couple of regressions that lasted a day or two):

1. Printing now works.
2. Plugin support is acceptable. I've got both Flash and Java working.

Here's the quick and easy for getting Java working:

# apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
# cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
# ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so .

Restart Chromium and you should have a working Java plugin.
