Can we have the severity increased? This is a pretty big feature to have not
working. I for one use webex at work.

Thanks
Steve

Tom Fitzsimmons is work on this. It is a big feature, and will take some more time.

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.

See bug 433070 and the Fedora 9 release notes[1] for the name change reasoning.

How so?

Comment 11 Samuel Sieb 2008-03-13 18:45:05 UTC
I'm just thinking that anyone using F8 that's looking for this bug will be
searching under "icedtea", not "openjdk".

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.

Comment 18 Jason Guiditta 2008-06-30 20:19:55 UTC
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?

Comment 21 Mark Wielaard 2008-11-07 09:56:49 UTC
I believe this can be CLOSED now that RAWHIDE has the IcedTeaPlugin integrated. Or are there plans to backport that into Fedora 9?

Comment 22 Martin Jürgens 2008-11-07 11:32:00 UTC
I'd suggest to keep it opened as otherwise this bug report may not be found by using the search.

Comment 23 Deepak Bhole 2008-11-14 21:37:10 UTC
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

Comment 24 Marc Schwartz 2008-11-26 13:49:50 UTC
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.
