Java (IcedTea) doesn't have a PPAPI plugin available, and so it's not usable in Chromium, since Chromium 34 in Trusty has switched to the Aura rendering framework and no longer allows NPAPI plugins. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1308783.

You can't. You would have to recompile Chromium and edit the line that disallows NPAPI.

What's the value today for a browser not capable to run java?

Well, I haven't had to run Java within my browser in a long time, and there are general vulnerabilities with running Java web applets...

I wish one day people who don't have an answer could just remain silent instead of speculating whether someone does or doesn't need what they're asking for...
