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?

Michael?

+ Michael Wolf: It looks like nspluginwrapper itself needs some love in
+ order to get it to support the java plugin reasonably.
