I updated from OpenJDK 7 to 8. I uninstalled 7, which uninstalled the IcedTea plugin as well. I tried to reinstall IcedTea with

 sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin

But it doesn't work. When I try to launch topcoder jnlp file, it fails. Also, it doesn't load any java plugin in Google Chrome. It was fine with OpenJDK 7. Is there a newer version of IcedTea for OpenJDK 8?

At the moment, icedtea-8-plugin is not available in the official Ubuntu repositories. Maarten Fonville offers a PPA repository with a working icedtea-8-plugin package.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-fonville/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install icedtea-8-plugin

Bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-web/+bug/1385842

PPA page: https://launchpad.net/~maarten-fonville/+archive/ubuntu/

If you're using Ubuntu 14.04 (for which openjdk-8-jre is not yet backported), then for the time being the OpenJDK ppa must be added first:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa

Recent versions of Chrome do not support the Java plugin (cf. How do I get Java plugin working on Google Chrome?).

icedtea-netx - NetX - implementation of the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP)

By this you can decide which one to install..!
