Same here on Fedora 11

On the Sun's download page there's a footnote saying:

* Please use the 32-bit version for Java applet and Java Web Start support.

so my guess is elluminate (and other webstart based sites like webex)
expects and works only with the 32 bit variant.

Now the question is whether it is possible to install the openjdk 32
bit java plugin in a 64 bit OS...
