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.

Michael, what would it take to finish this off for 11.1 and SLED11?

#2)
Michael?

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.

+ 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?
