Bug#388063: java-gcj-compat-plugin: What relation with gcjwebplugin??

[Eugen Dedu <Eugen.Dedu@pu-pm.univ-fcomte.fr>]

I am sorry to reply.  Please note that packet descriptions must be 
understood by users, not only by experts.

So I think more information should be written in the description. 
People do not know internals of packets.  How can one know if it's 
java-gcj-compat-plugin or gcjwebplugin that he must install?!

In fact, I do not still understand...  I do not have gcjwebplugin 
installed.  Still, with java-gcj-compat-plugin installed, I can see 
applets.  So what's the  point with gcjwebplugin in the description of 
java-gcj-compat-plugin??

Friendly,
Eugen Dedu
