OpenJDK / IcedTea is ###p

[Fernando Cassia]

Please pardon my French....

First thing I did after installing F11 was opening a command prompt and see
the level of Java included.

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.5) (fedora-22.b16.fc11-i386)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b15, mixed mode)

good, I think.

So I load the default Firefox browser, type About:plugins, see:

IcedTea Java Web Browser Plugin File name: IcedTeaPlugin.so The IcedTea Java
Web Browser Plugin 1.4.1 (fedora-20.b14.fc11-i386) executes Java applets.And
so Ioad the Java Tester URL....
http://www.javatester.org/version.html

and get... NOTHING. The applet doesn't load. Doesn't show up.

Thoughts? Comments? Expletives? ;-)

PS: I think the installer should ask "do you want the Stallman-blessed JVM
that causes more problems than it solves, or the Sun JRE that just woks ?"
then it would proceed to contact the java.sun.com web site, display the
EULA. and upon agreement proceed to install it. Sheesh. ;-)
