Bruce, Still about version, I believe you know, but just in case, I do some things more to check the plugin version. Since version 7u7 (maybe even before), some of the tests I used stopped working for OpenJDK and IcedTeaWeb, but still work for jre. So, something has been (intentionally?) changed by the developers. Probably by installing just the jre binary and replacing the IcedTeaWeb pluging by the libnpjp2.so plugin, one can test, but today I did it when upgrading Windows version and testing there with Firefox (Once a week I run Windows just to check for updates). The second test still worked for some previous version, when the first stopped working.
1. https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre This executes an applet. Works in Windows, but in Linux, the applet runs forever, without moving to the next screen displaying the version information. 2. https://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp Here, a gray square appears in the page with some information, but in Linux, the gray square is empty. Have not used today in Windows, as the previous test worked.
