[opensuse-factory] java plugin
I'm aware of Most Annoying Bugs (252510) and the workaround posted at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2007-03/msg00373.html The workaround was working for me on Alpha2 x86_64. Can't seem to make it work on Alpha3. Perhaps we need new instructions now that firefox is 64-bit? p.s. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but blaming Sun for this problem may be acceptable during Alpha and Beta phases but if it isn't fixed by the end of Beta, people will simply change to a different distro. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Same problem with the x86_64 CD's. I had to do a 10.2 install and then factory upgrade to 10.3 Alpha3. I shall be trying the 10.3 Alpha3 CD's after trying the DVD on a x86 box.

There is almost no chance to get Java working in Firefox 64bit yet. There simply is no real working 64bit plugin for Java and nspluginwrapper doesn't support Java. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=264228 In theory (while my own tests were not really successful) it could somehow work with the GNU Classpath and its classpath-webplugin which is available for x86-64. The library would have to be symlinked (ln -s) into /usr/lib64/browser-plugins and it will appear in about:plugins.

Not related to the 64bit Java plugin at all, but I finally gave up about thia Java issue getting fixed by SUN/IBM/BEA in time for openSUSE 10.3. See my comment #74 for a workaround. It shouldn't be that hard to fix this until Beta1 or even earlier. Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
