This could be SELinux issue, as reported on fedora-devel list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-August/msg00380.html I don't have my laptop with me at the moment, so I can't test this right now.
Indeed, executing as root: setsebool allow_execmem=1 fixes the problem, so this seems to be SELinux configuration problem. I'm using the (default) Enforsing SELinux policy. Versions: selinux-policy-2.3.6-3 selinux-policy-targeted-2.3.6-3 libselinux-1.30.22-2
Does this java plugin get run as a separate executable or is loaded in as a shared library? Could you attach any avc messages that you see in /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log?
Since no responce, I will close.
Sorry for not been tracking this, I already moved to other releases before the request for more information arrived:( Yes, we can close this as i've upgraded the system to later version long time ago and currently it doesn't have the gcjwebplugin configured. [ The NOTABUG status is bit weird, but hopefully it's fixed now;) ]
