F14: how do I remove IcedTea plugin from FIreFox?

[Tony Camuso]

I have an applet that will not work with IcedTea. This applet is a remote
console applet spawned by the HP iLO web interface and is critical for my
work.

With F13, I was able to successfully install the Oracle jre and soft link
the correct plugin. 

Recently, I upgraded to F14. Of course, the Open jre with IcedTea came with 
F14, so I "yum erase" the jre and "rpm -ivh" the Oracle jre, just as I
did
in F13, an soft linked to the correct plugin thus:

# ln -sf /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

... which is what I did in F13. 

However, I have actually removed everything from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
and from my /home/user/.mozilla/plugins directories, and I am still seeing
plugins in FireFox, most annoyingly, this one. 

    File: IcedTeaPlugin.so
    Version: 
    The IcedTea NPR Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea6 1.8 (fedora-41.b18.fc13-i386))
executes Java applets.

Appreciate any and all help ...

yum doesn't like it when you run rpm directly, use yum localinstall instead.

How about Firefox->Tools->Add-ons->Plugins->IcedTea-> Disable ?

If you have indeed removed the files from your system that is very
odd. It should not be there. Have you tried "locateIcedTeaPlugin.so" ?
Maybe its picking it up from some other non-standard path. Also a dumb
question, did you restart firefox after you made these changes?

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Should be "locate IcedTeaPlugin.so"

The package you need to remove is java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin.

We are always interested in any applets that don't work with the
IcedTea plugin, so if you can let us have some way of reproducing the
problem we'll have a look.

Minecraft[1]. It used to work (the first versions of the game) but has 
recently stopped working. The developer of the game also acknowledges it 
does not work and AFAIK will not do anything to fix it.

The game downloads its files, but after the download complete, the game 
goes black. It should show a game menu and/or 3D world.

Thanks for brining this up! We (the IcedTea developers) are aware of the 
bug [1] and are working on it. Unfortunately, it slipped under the radar 
for a bit, but we are aware of it now and we will make sure this is 
fixed ASAP.

Thanks!
Omair
