134631 - plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan do not support version 1.4

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

the code in nsPluginDirServiceProvider:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/base/src/nsPluginDirServiceProvider.cpp#72
has this:
if (::CompareFileTime(&modTime,&curVer) >= 0 && 
  (atof(curKey) >= 1.3) && (atof(curKey) < 1.4))
{

so JRE 1.4 is not supported.

At this time, this is a WONTFIX. Because JRE 1.4 is an XPCOM component and
requires explicit registration with regxpcom. "Scanning" for it, like with JRE
1.3, it not supported and not advised. That may change one day. We also need a
more scalable solution for all plugin installations, not just Java.
