Description Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-27 08:01:01 UTC
Currently there is a plugin2 local USE flag, but I think eselect java-nsplugin would support registering both versions and let user select between them later... Could be named such as "sun-jdk-1.6" and "sun-jdk-1.6-plugin2"
Should need just a small change in the eclass.

What do you think?

BTW, am I the only one who has the plugin2 segfault firefox right on the test page http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml ? The old plugin works fine there.

proposed ebuild patch

Uses the eclass patch to install both plugin variants. Info in postinst and warning about plugin2 working in ff3 only. Serkan wanted to warn right in eselect but I don't think it's that necessary to hold users hands and update our eselect module to support some warnings, decide where to store them along with the plugin symlinks, further update eclass...
