Bug#459558: gcjwebplugin: Plugin isn't working at all

[Anders Boström]

Package: gcjwebplugin
Version: 2:0.96.1-1
Severity: important

I can't get the plugin to work in iceweasel at all. No single applet
I've tried work. I just get a pop-up window asking me to trust the
applet, and after clicking on "Trust Applet", a grey box is shown
where the applet should appear.

Applets I've tried include the ones at
http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/

I've tried with both cacao and jamvm with the same result.

iceweasel prints this (using jamvm):

I'm trying to get a 64-bit java plugin for my amd64-system, and was
hoping for this one, but...

The (old) blackdown plugin (j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin from
http://www.tux.org/pub/java/debian) is working for me, but the debian
package requires firefox, and the firefox package isn't working with
the latest iceweasel package in testing. :-(
