Btw I meanwhile found a kind of `workaround' until we have a new sun jdk or icedtea port: konqueror (both the kde3 and the kde4 versions) runs java applets via a normal `java' executable (and apparently its own ipc wrapper code), so it doesn't need a plugin. And this also means it even works with openjdk7 (and linux-sun-jdk in a native browser), at least it did for me doing a simple test on http://spaceflight1.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/index.html after setting either JAVA_HOME or configuring a full path in settings -> konqueror -> java and javascript -> path to java executable. All of these worked for me: zsh triton8% ll /usr/local/*/bin/java -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 95014 May 13 2008 /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/bin/java* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 47308 Oct 11 10:40 /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.6.0/bin/java* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 60214 Feb 13 06:15 /usr/local/openjdk7/bin/java* zsh triton8% HTH, :) Juergen _______________________________________________ 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"

At least until it will get a new gecko version.
