[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1308783] Re: chromium-browser: No Java Pepper Plugin available
I am not an expert, but somehow I got Java working in Chromium on one of my Ubuntu computers. All my software is updated to current versions. If someone wants to guide me through a process of discovery, I can find out how I got it to work. I would like to know what I did, as I need to install Java on newer machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308783 Title: chromium-browser: No Java Pepper Plugin available Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in Iced Tea: Won't Fix Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I was using google chrome browser on Ubuntu 12.04 machine, recently I needed to switch to chromium-browser.

Previously in chrome, I have created a symlink of `libnpjp2.so` to the `/opt/google/chrome/plugins` folder, java applets were working fine. 3.

Even `libnpjp2.so` appears in `about:plugins` in chromium-browser and showing it's enabled. What I have tried so far -- 1. After uninstalling chrome, the `/opt/google/chrome` was still there, I removed it 2. Made the symlink as the point 3 above to `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins`, but no luck. 3. So, I installed `icedtea-7-plugins` from the Ubuntu repo and made a symlink of `IcedTeaPlugin.so` to `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins`, but no luck, so I removed it. 4. Even added the java applet test page to the exclusion list in the java control panel. 5. Even cleared temporary internet files from the java control panel. 6. Did multiple cycles of "enable/disable" java plugins in chromium-browser. 7. Firing up the chromium-browser with `-enable-plugins` switch did not work.

We haven't yet determined if it is even possible to create a port of IcedTea-Web to PPAPI, due to the sandboxing and other restrictions Google places on extensions built with Pepper/Native Client.

Chromium are open source so it could potentially be modified. Currently my brightest idea are to use DLL injection and override the entire engine component with something similar to Chrome Frame. If we simply run another browser engine, such as a modified Chromium engine with NPAPI-support, that might work. Or an engine that do not require any hacking such as Qt WebKit which supports NPAPI plugins out of the box. Another option would be to make a completely Chrome-compatible browser out of Chromium, which are what the Qt WebEngine are all about. Such a browser could be entirely FOSS and shipped with Linux distributions. A mayor problem would be the Flash plugin which may require that Chrome are also installed. As a system admin I would like to avoid installing Chrome in such a scenario, or at least hide it well.

Firefox, Safari and IE will work. - If possible, use JNLP. AFAIK it will continue working. - If you, like me, are using applets for electronic signature, probably the best option is to keep praying for Webcrypto+FIDO Regards.
