Can you please explain why the package name was changed? Is that what the package is going to be called? Even if that's the case, that's going to make this bug harder to find. (In reply to comment #9) > Can you please explain why the package name was changed? See bug 433070 and the Fedora 9 release notes[1] for the name change reasoning. > Is that what the > package is going to be called?

How so? 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Java I'm just thinking that anyone using F8 that's looking for this bug will be searching under "icedtea", not "openjdk". *** Bug 251829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 440589 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 443274 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping *** Bug 449959 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I know this is described as a big task, but is it getting close? I really want to be able to use the openjdk plugin, but need this feature for it to be useful. Clearly others think so as well, judging by the number of closed duplicates. On further research, I found what appears to be a patch for this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.openjdk.distro-packaging.devel/2478 Any chance of this getting into F9 any time soon? Adding patrickm to the cc list as the manager of the disabled user fitzsim who reported this bug *** Bug 457522 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I believe this can be CLOSED now that RAWHIDE has the IcedTeaPlugin integrated. Or are there plans to backport that into Fedora 9? I'd suggest to keep it opened as otherwise this bug report may not be found by using the search. Liveconnect is now supported via the new Java plugin F10/Rawhide. With regards to some of the bugs above:
420781 - Does not appear to be applicable any more
429191 - webex, works, but requires browser to be restart for first use. This is
being worked on
432184 - just received a note about this one this morning. Looking into it.
432183 - Does not work with with the Sun plugin either (appears to be bug in
applet)
443274 - Has nothing to do with plugin, but is fixed
457522 - Fails, same cause as bug #468490
There appears to be residual functionality issues with the OpenJDK plug-in in F10. This may be in part, specific to the R (http://www.r-project.org/) java search applet, but when using the R applet, the following error messages appears in the R Console: > ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG = (null) Initializing JVM... NOT IMPLEMENTED: virtual nsresult IcedTeaPluginInstance::Start() JNLPRuntime already initialized NOT IMPLEMENTED: virtual nsresult IcedTeaPluginInstance::Stop() The R java search applet is started using: help.start() and then selecting the "Search Engine & Keywords" link on the page that comes up in Firefox. I was only able to get the applet functioning properly using the Sun JRE. I also reported this on the R-SIG-Fedora list last night after getting F10 installed: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-fedora/2008-November/000054.html and this has been an ongoing issue for some time, as noted in the R Admin Manual: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Enabling-search-in-HTML-help Thanks. |
