Hi ports@

sent this to MAINTAINER last week without feedback yet, but maybe
someone want to raise an opinion on the subject ..

Basically, the only last 4 users of xulrunner 1.8 are eclipse (being
worked on - or so), gtk-vnc, py-gnome-extras(same) and classpath.
Most linux distros disable gcjwebplugin, and i'm pretty sure it's
deprecated upstream in favor of icedtea-plugin. We have the java plugin
from jdk anyway for people who really need that kind of thing.

So, if anyone really used gcjwebplugin (instead of regular java plugin)
speak now; i'd like to disable it from classpath port. Or if anyone
feels brave enough to convert it to xulrunner 1.9.... send me the diff :)

Hi,

you're listed as the maintainer for lang/classpath in openbsd's ports
tree. This port uses xulrunner 1.8, which i'd like to put in the attic.
Can you look into eventually convert it to use/build against xulrunner
1.9, or should we just --disable-plugin, as gentoo/redhat/ubuntu/debian
does ?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548783
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213463
icedtea-plugin is supposed to supersede it, and i have no idea if
gcjwebplugin has any use in the past.
