I too had a problem with getting applets to run with b3 (and b2 for that
matter) but recently found a fix.  If you get a floating point exception
whenever Java starts up (that was my symptom) then check to make sure your
X server is running with >256 colours.  256 colours (i.e. bpp 8) is
apparently insufficient.  When I fixed up my XF86Config so I could 'startx
-- -bpp 16' the problems went away and Java works great!

Hope this helps!
