I don't really use java. The last time I used it was just to update the book. It's not clear to me though that your problem is the build, but the upstream code instead. Can you find a binary for the plugin and see if that works for you? Also, could it be a ff problem blocking popups? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
