Re: [fedora-java] jmol and jspecview oddity

accidental bundling?
I haven't investigated the build process in detail, but there is a dependency on
icedtea-web, and
the class files are mostly identical to those in some icedtea-web version, except for
jmol-14.0.11-1.fc21.noarch and jspecview-2-7.1464svn.fc21.noarch, which differ in the
sun.applet.PluginAppletViewer class (so we currently do not provide matching source code,
I think).
(I found this while checking for references to sun.misc.Ref, which will be removed in
OpenJDK 9.
Coincidentally, icedtea-web has already been fixed.)
Och,. this scares me!
Maybe better is to ask jmoll developers - as we have been cooperating with them long ago
when itw
was started to be developed....
the sun* packages in jmol actually does not meter. Only sun* and netx* packages *inside*
itw do have
unrestricted access.
anyway - interesting to know. I will look at this more deeply when time permits.
