I found the following to be very useful: It involves having the latest java update, but don't uninstall / delete previous the version.

Afterwards you should be able to copy / paste as normal.

I use this one to be able to copy and paste in-game.
Here's a quote so you don't need to go to the thread.

Java 6 update 24 and probably ongoing versions have disallowed copy and paste. This is due to security reasons, I believe it's due to the possibility of having sensitive data on your clipboard there and you are tricked into pressing control-v or paste.

You can override this setting.

1) Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\security\

2) Open this file in Notepad:
.java.policy

3) Find the following line:
// "standard" properies that can be read by anyone
And add the following on the next line:
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "accessClipboard";
Add it after the following line:

4) Restart browser.

Note that Java, including Applets, can now access your clipboard. So - don't copy and paste sensitive information when using Java websites, including this.

If you mess up, just re-install Java.

I did try this months back but got confused so gave up in the end. would be nice for Java to leave an option (or release two versions).

change the jre6 to jre7. I didn't realise that the quote wasn't updated for the latest java version.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\security\
