Bug#576361: libwebkit-1.0-2: Java support?

[Sven Arvidsson]

Package: libwebkit-1.0-2
Version: 1.1.90-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Does WebKitGtk support Java now? The bug tracking this[1] has been
closed, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

None of the demo applets[2] I tried in Epiphany 2.29.92 works. There's
no visible error message, but the following appears in the source of
the page:

    <applet codebase="." code="Clock.class" width=170 height=150>
      alt="Your browser understands the &lt;APPLET&gt; tag but isn't
      running the applet, for some reason."
      Your browser is completely ignoring the &lt;APPLET&gt; tag!
    </applet> 

I'm using icedtea6-plugin 6b18~pre2-1.
