Could we please some documentation added about the java-nsplugin eselect module? One of our users was kind enough to send me a bit of a blurb: "Java Plug-in You can install a Java Plug-in for your browser by merging a Java VM with the "nsplugin" USE flag turned on. For your first Java Plug-in installation, Portage will set it as the system's default Java Plug-in. Portage allows your system to have multiple versions of the Java Plug-in. Only one will be used by your browser. To see a list of available Java Plug-in, do: eselect java-nsplugin list On my system, I see: Available Java browser plugins [1] sun-jre-bin-1.5 To select it, do: eselect java-nsplugin set sun-jre-bin-1.5 If you set it correctly, you will see: eselect java-nsplugin list Available Java browser plugins [1] sun-jre-bin-1.5 current Mozilla-based browsers provides an internal URL to verify your Java Plug-in installation. #type this in the address bar about:plugins Java.com provides a link to verify your Java Plug-in installation http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp Java Plug-in should show up with the correct version."\ - Eddy Mulyono <eddymulyono@mail.com> It is also worth noting that on multilib systems, you can set both a 32bit and 64bit plugins, but I don't have anything handy written about it yet.
Uh, do you have a patch, and can you point to which java doc you're referring to? Thanks.
The Java user guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml As for a patch, I do not have one.

I imagine it being a new chapter, perhaps before 'USE flags for use with Java'
(In reply to comment #4) > I imagine it being a new chapter, perhaps before 'USE flags for use with Java' > So, does this also work for konqueror/khtml-based browsers, or Opera, etc.? Also, more info on 32/64-bit plugins is needed. Is any of this something that you really want in the guide? It's not really in very good shape...I can maybe write something up and attach it, but someone with 32 & 64-bit java plugin experience will need to contribute. Same goes for java plugin stuff in non-Mozilla browsers, if possible.
Created attachment 99167 [details, diff] java.xml.patch Proposed new chapter.
Fixed in CVS. thanks for the sample, as well as nichoj's many code examples & other updates via irc.
