Hi, digging this out of the grave, here's a port for http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web, a replacement for the unmaintained/dead sun java plugin, provided with java 1.5 (and 1.6?). Currently, this works somewhat fine in webkit-based and gecko-based browsers (http://www.w3.org/People/mimasa/test/object/java/ + http://javatester.org/enabled.html for basic support/samples). It's a bit rough at the edges (AWT errors at first paint, java process still running after tab close..), but it'd be good to have it in-tree so that people can test and see if it can replace the dreaded old plugin for them. It also provides a gui to configure the plugin (itweb-settings) and javaws, a 'java web start client' to run jnlp files.
Comments/oks to import welcome. Landry
