Here is a comment from nspluginwrapper developer: From: Gwenole Beauchesne To: Stanislav Brabec Subject: Re: nspluginwrapper: why Sun Java is not wrapped? Date: Thu, 3 May 2007 07:18:51 +0200 ..

Why Sun Java plugin does not work with nspluginwrapper and how complicated it would be to make it working.

nspluginwrapper only implements an NPAPI bridge at this time. I had a quick look at OJI (what java plugins use) some time ago, it's seems to be a derivative of NPAPI. I believe that to support OJI, we'd first have to write a proper XPCOM bridge. The other problem is that OJI documentation is quite weak though I have sources of gcjwebplugin, (old) kaffe-plugin and even jvm 1.4 for x86. The problem with XPCOM is that I don't think there is a generic way to implement that even if we parse the types description files (.xpt) because e.g. in/out arguments would need special attention to keep the other-side synchronised and thus knowing what changed. So it would need to be a case by case basis and honestly, that's tedious. Besides, I am not an expert in NPAPI/OJI/XPCOM, I am just learning as I need to. ;-) .. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The java plugin is there just fine. However, no 64bit Mozilla browser (Firefox, Seamonkey) is able to use the Java plugin. The java plugin is 32bit and would need a 32-64 bit layer, which is present by "nspluginwrapper". However, as in #c2, nspluginwrapper does not handle the kind of plugin the Java plugin is. As long as upstream does not have a solution please just use the 32bit Firefox or seamonkey on your 64bit machine if you need JAVA. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
