Description William Blew 2004-05-14 14:50:25 UTC 
The emerging of ibm-jdk-1.4.1-r1 should enable its use as a mozilla plugin. It does this by symbolic linking:
    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to 
    /opt/ibm-jdk-1.4.1/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so

However, the above link isn't valid when mozilla was compiled with a gcc3
compiler. Instead the target of the link should be (note the gcc3 suffix):

    /opt/ibm-jdk-1.4.1/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_ojigcc3.so

The result of this behaviour is that the ibm-jdk-1.4.1 with a gcc3 system fails to properly enable its mozilla java plugin. This issue has the obscure, yet easy workaround of manually symlinking the libjavaplugin_oji.so correctly for gcc3.

Perhaps the ebuild could be changed to defect gcc3 system and react correctly?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. on a gcc3 based system
2. emerge mozilla
3. emerge =ibm-sdk-1.4.1-r1
4. utilize java-config to specify the ibm-jdk's java VM
5. open mozilla's About Plugins dialog
Actual Results:  
Mozilla's About Plugins dialog fails to identify any java plugin.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla's About Plugins dialog should list the plugin:

I can confirm this... changing the /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so symlink to /opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.1/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_ojigcc3.so works as intended...
