I suggest you report a bug. Utopic is not even remotely ready and not stable. If you want an OS that works I recommend you wipe Utopic off and do a clean install of Trusty. Trusty is LTS and supported til April 2019. Utopic will only have 9 months of support once released.

If you are happy to stomach bugs and feature holes then by all means use Utopic and report bugs to get the release ready but do not expect a smooth ride. It will also be fairly buggy even a few weeks after release.

as i understand it is a bug in icedtea-7-plugin it assumes that /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws is there and then fail to find it but i can not find where to fix this

If you don't mind messing up the filesystem a little bit:
sudo ln -sv /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

Then complete/configure the install that failed:
sudo apt-get -f install

Then the installer will be happy and complete.

LukasThyWalls in here propose:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-web/+bug/1363785

Also affected on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10 trying to install
openjdk-6-jdk. Used the workaround reported by UbuntuFlo
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-
web/+bug/1363785/comments/14 and it was enough to fix the broken
dependency.
