Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that there was an rpm. I meant that as a
warning for when the new libgcj rpm appears.

Running standalone, I get

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
gnu.classpath.tools.appletviewer.Main

tools.zip is supposedly added to the classpath using

- -Xbootclasspath/p:"${tools_cp}"

But gij doesn't support this, at least on the 4.1.1 release I am using
(jamvm works).

So, how is the plugin installation handled? It seems that the GNU plugin
will override, say, the blackdown plugin for any applets. since the GNU
plugin isn't going through the alternatives system and is just getting
put in the plugin path first. In addition to not liking the configure
for the plugin install location, I don't like how it is looking for
mozilla, when it seems you should also be able to use mozilla-firefox
without problems.
