It seems like TJ's fix corrects and existing bug, but don't not address the original bug report from what i can tell. I believe Matti and I came to the conclusion that the rrot cause was that the missing height and width on the page wasn't valid, but since the sun plugin handles the tag, the icedtea-gcjwebplugin should as well.
I am not clear on why the icedtea-gcjwebplugin association was marked as invalid nor why the patch i submitted hasn't be considered. -- applet fails to load with nullpointerexception https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.
