I had sort of figured that, but I was hoping someone would have the inside skinny on just when we might see it again. Now that I think of it, I'd guess we won't see it until the new open-jdk version has migrated to Wheezy. At the changelog for openjdk-6 we can read that the build for NetX and the plugin has been stopped: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6_6b18-1.8.7-5/changelog Thank you for that link. Dummy that I am, I was just looking in the lists instead of where I should have looked. Sorry for the noise!
