gcjwebplugin-test package

[Anthony Green]

Thanks to langel and fitzsim's help, I've created a gcjwebplugin-test
package for x86 FC5.  It's built from GNU Classpath and jamvm cvs HEAD
sources.  The source RPM just contains a script for checking out the
sources and building them.  The binary RPM includes all the sources
(installed under /usr/share/gcjwebplugin-test).

To try it out, simple create a file
called /etc/yum.repos.d/gcjwebplugin-test.repo with the following
contents:

[gcjwebplugin-test]
name=Experimental gcjwebplugin repository
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/green/gcjwebplugin-test/fedora/$releasever/$basearc...
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Then "yum install gcjwebplugin-test".

I don't know what this will do if you have Sun's plugin installed as
well (I don't).

Also, this version of the plugin includes Lillian's whitelist trick, so
it will only load applets you specifically say are "OK".

Please report any applet bugs to the GNU Classpath bugzilla repository..
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla.

Thanks,

AG

Nice one! It just worked. Groovy Cool Jiving indeed.
For people wanting to try this out and see some working applets in
actions see http://developer.classpath.org/Applets and please add any
applets you find that don't work (yet!) to that page so we have a list
of issues to look at and make this thing even better.

Cheers,

Mark

Hey Anthony,

would it be possible to provide a x86_64 version ?

I'll do this when I return home in a week and have access to my x86-64
box.

I tried this out today.  It makes it so much easier to get my daily
chess puzzle fix using only free software :-).  I also like the
heart-stopping whitelist warning.

Mark, just tried this URL and got a not found error.  Is there an 
updated location?

Well, about:plugins lists them both, with the Sun plugin listed first, 
and it does appear to take precedence.  This is with the JPackage 
java-1.5.0-sun-plugin rpm.  Setting the java alternative to the 
gcjwebplugin-test package breaks the link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 
and allows the gcjwebplugin to take precedence.
