It works here on "vanilla" sage-4.8, sage-4.8+new flask notebook+new

version 1.6.0.31.

I just tested this on virtual machine. It worked when I installed Fedora
16. But after yum update it crashed Firefox. At least FF version was
updated from 7.x to 10.x with yum, but this might depend on java
version, not on FF version.

Next question: How can I save java-applet from Sage to another page, so
that I can send error report to FF mailing list?


On Ubuntu (11.04, 10.04 and maybe others), the policy of Oracle resulted
(as far as I know) in the withdrawal of all packages sun*java from the
distribution.
Once, our computers, after a weekly update, could no more play Jmol,
because they had regressed to open-jdk and other packages.

I believe that we must suppress any Java packages from sage.... Sage
must not depend on this Money Oriented Language (see:
http://www.stlport.org/resources/StepanovUSA.html).
But it will not be so easy :-(

Well, one of the high-priority goals for summer is to replace jmol (as default) with a three.js-based viewer. So hopefully soon.... Jmol could still be included, but the three.js viewer would be default.
