- This release of Fedora Core includes a preview release of `gcjwebplugin`, a Firefox
plugin for Java applets. `gcjwebplugin` is not enabled by default because although the
security implementation in `GNU Classpath` is being actively developed, it is not mature
enough to run untrusted applets safely. That said, the AWT and Swing implementations in
`GNU Classpath` are now sufficiently mature that they can run many applets deployed on the
web. Adventurous users who want to try `gcjwebplugin` can read
`/usr/share/doc/libgcj-4.1.1/README.libgcjwebplugin.so`, as installed by the `gcc` rpm.
The README explains how to enable the plugin and the risks associated with doing so.
