Partner organization: openSUSE.org

Description:
As of openSUSE 10.2, components of the Mozilla browser suite are
building on 64bit. However, plugin compatibility is suffering (e.g.
flash-player not working).
The nspluginwrapper (available at freshmeat
(http://freshmeat.net/projects/nspluginwrapper) fixes these issues
nicely

We're shipping nspluginwrapper now. Unfortunately it does not handle
Java yet.

#2: Gary Ekker <gekker@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-05-28 20:34:33)
Michael, what would it take to finish this off for 11.1 and SLED11?

#3: Stefan Behlert <behlert@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-07-01 23:30:58) (reply to
#2)
Michael?

#6: Gary Ekker <gekker@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-09-08 15:30:29)
Michael Wolf: It looks like nspluginwrapper itself needs some love in
order to get it to support the java plugin reasonably.
See http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2008/07/06/nspluginwrapper_1.1.0,
a blog entry written about two months ago by nspluginwrapper's
maintainer.

+ Unless you will explicitly request update to development version 1.1.0
+ (which supports windowless plugin in Flash 10 and restart plugin after
+ crash) or 1.2.0 (not yet written, should support Java plugin), I would
+ consider this feature as done for both 11.1 and SLED11.
