OpenJDK is pretty complete. I haven't been able to break it yet.
I don't run applets or javaws often, but haven't had trouble with either.
What you're seeing is a configuration error related to packaging. There's a missing property setting or the property setting is incorrect.
Read through
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html where the configuration options for
javaws are described, and check your system and/or user config files to be sure they're pointing to reasonable locations.
most likely the deployment.user.cachedir property is misconfigured or it's target directory is missing.
