Hi, > You could install gcc-gcj and symlink the web plugin in the right > directory without installing java-gcj-compat. Yes. But sadly, as I was saying, that won't work for applets using certificates because they would be looking for files like /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0/jre/lib/security/cacerts and those (actually I'm not sure if this is the only such a file or if there are more) are a part of java-gcj-compat. So because of this one may really need java-gcj-compat. > The reason why we have > it conflicting is because we want to have only one complete java > solution installed on a system. OK and the reason for this is which? :-) Shouldn't this be up to the user? Does it have some real drawbacks to have more than one java installed? I on the other hand can imagine that someone is developing java applications and wants to test it against gcj, Sun's java, IBM's java and perhaps even some others - why should it be a problem unless there are some technical difficulties in setting up the environments?
