I just installed java-gcj-compat-plugin from Debian, which claims to
provide gcjwebplugin. It provides libgcjwebplugin.so which I then linked
into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgcjwebplugin.so.
It seems to try to work, mozilla asks if you can trust the applet but
when I answer to the affirmative it does not work. For example I have an
applet:
http://www.math.concordia.ab.ca/~bob/Timer.html
which behaves this way. It shows a gray square (once it actualy showed
the clock face but was non-functional. Another example that does not
work is:
http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/daily-jigsaw
which is a jigsaw puzzle that require the java plugin. The puzzle never
finishes loading. Do either work for you Andrew?
Thanks, Bob
