Re: openjdk-7-jre and Iceweasel

[Jörg-Volker Peetz <jvpeetz@web.de>]

At the moment, the icedtea-plugin package has a little problem (see its bugs
#642734 and #642598). A workaround is to modify the file
/etc/java-6-openjdk/security/java.policy :

In this file replace:
------
grant codeBase "file:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/ext/*" {
        permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-common/ext/*" {
        permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
------
by this policy:
------
grant codeBase "file:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/*" {
        permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-common/jre/lib/ext/*" {
        permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
------

For me (with openjdk-6-jre), it works with the "official" test page
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml .
