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.

+ #10: Stefan Behlert <behlert@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-10-17 16:13:30) (reply
+ to #8)
+ Ok, based on that closed as done. Change if you disagree..
+ What's with SLES 11? Thorsten, do you want to ship nspluginwrapper? I
+ doubt it, can we reject?

#9: Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-10-09 15:45:55)
What is the status here? There is no late feature request and we are
past all deadlines. What do you plan to get this fixed?
