Hi,
the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin package was a good preview of things to come
for FC6test2, but GNU Classpath's security implementation is still too immature
for the plugin to be loaded by Firefox by default. See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204728
I've commented out java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin from java-1.4.2-gcj-compat, and
made the latest java-1.4.2-gcj-compat obsolete java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin <=
1.4.2.0-40jpp.104, so the plugin will not be loaded by Firefox by default.
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin installed a symlink from
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so to
/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1/libgcjwebplugin.so. The latter is owned by the libgcj RPM.
My plan was to continue to install /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1/libgcjwebplugin.so
(without installing any symlinks, so that Firefox would not load the plugin by
default), so that adventurous users could still do:
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1/libgcjwebplugin.so .
There would still be the security warning dialog asking whether or not to load a
given applet.
What do people think of this plan?
Tom
