Running the code:
new java.net.URLClassLoader(java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(java.lang.Class.forName("java.net.URL"), 0));
from Firefox chrome:// (privileged) code is sufficient to generate this exception in the IcedTea NPRuntime plug-in. This same code does not generate an exception in the old IcedTea LiveConnect/OJI plug-in, nor does it generate an exception in the Sun NPRuntime Java plug-in.
As the developer in charge of Zotero/OpenOffice.org integration, let me know if there's anything I can do to help further track down and fix this issue. There are dozens of posts our forums from users upgrading to new distributions that include the IcedTea NPRuntime plug-in to suddenly find that Zotero doesn't work anymore.
I've now learned from Mozilla bug 620773 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620773) that the Sun Java2 plug-in specifically recognizes chrome:// URIs and grants them enhanced privileges. I'm happy to try to patch the IcedTea NPPlugin to do the same. Can someone more knowledgeable in these matters comment on whether there are tricks to this, and whether it could potentially produce a security issue? Tested with the new IcedTea-web java plugin included in Fedora 15. It now works well with LibreOffice. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping zotero libreoffice plugin works great with F15 |
