I haven't looked into this enough recently but I would suggest there are two promising options. If Sun is including a FF 3.6 compatible plugin with its current jdk16 release then we should grab the newest available jdk16 code and update the jdk16 port with it. Thats not a small piece of work though as the port is languishing at Update 3 and I think Sun is at Update 18. The other option is to port the IcedTea plugin to our openjdk6 port, assuming that is FF 3.6 compatible. That shouldn't be too difficult. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis(a)eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis(a)FreeBSD.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

You are mistaken here, the Java plugin works fine with firefox35. A real annoyance is that the OpenJDKs don't build the plugin, you need one of the SUN or Diablo JDKs. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

Hmm. So I've got the plugin installed from the current diablo-jre16 port and firefox35 doesn't find it. What does your set up look like? For me its: > ls -l /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 63 Nov 8 10:50 /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so Are you using it from jdk16 perhaps? > A real annoyance is that the OpenJDKs don't build the plugin, you > need one of the SUN or Diablo JDKs. They don't build it because Sun doesn't include it... -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis(a)eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis(a)FreeBSD.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"
