Somewhat OT: Any chance of EPEL shipping a working Firefox Java plugin? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483881
it is working... provided you replace the whole java stack with EPEL's build. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=494265
Tried installing EPEL's whole stack. Sorry if I'm being dense, but BZ#49426 does not tell me how to get around the missing x86_64 pluginappletviewer cited in BZ#483881 that keeps the plugin from working. Am I missing something? (I see I missed explicitly mentioning x86_64 above. Works on i386.)
The error is: gcjwebplugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/../../bin/pluginappletviewer. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

BTW - is there a better place for this discussion than epel-devel-list?
Thanks, Phil
