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/$releasever/$basearch
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
