The patch is intended as a specific patch for the Ubuntu Jaunty (and related Debian) openjdk package since it is supposed to support the use of the IcedTeaPlugin in both Firefox-3.0 and Firefox-3.5, but being built against the xulrunner 1.9.0 headers, fails in respect of the nsIProcess IID as I describe.
In later packages of openjdk (Karmic, etc) this issue should no longer be a problem since the default Firefox will be 3.5 and xulrunner 1.9.1+, and the IcedTea/OpenJDK packages are similarly up to date and don't make use of xulrunner 1.9.0 headers. -- Jaunty icedtea6-plugin doesn’t work in Firefox 3.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.
