Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by CaiusChance: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Java ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This release of Fedora Core includes a preview release of `gcjwebplugin`, a Firefox plugin for Java applets. `gcjwebplugin` is not enabled by default because although the security implementation in `GNU Classpath` is being actively developed, it is not mature enough to run untrusted applets safely. That said, the AWT and Swing implementations in `GNU Classpath` are now sufficiently mature that they can run many applets deployed on the web. Adventurous users who want to try `gcjwebplugin` can read `/usr/share/doc/libgcj-4.1.1/README.libgcjwebplugin.so`, as installed by the `gcc` rpm. The README explains how to enable the plugin and the risks associated with doing so. + If it still does not work, one could try install Sun's JRE at http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp . Please read its provided instructions for installation. To setup such for Java applets handling on Firefox, please read JreOnFirefox. + = Fedora and the JPackage Java Packages = Fedora Core includes many packages derived from the JPackage Project, which provides a Java software repository. These packages are modified in Fedora to remove proprietary software dependencies and to make use of GCJ's ahead-of-time compilation feature. Use the Fedora repositories to update these packages, or use the JPackage repository for packages not provided by Fedora. Refer to the JPackage website at http://jpackage.org for more information on the project and the software it provides.
