149820 - MRJ Plugin Info Mania

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[TommyBee (No E-mail)]

As of right now there are at least three MRJ Plugin web sites:

http://www.mozilla.org/oji/MRJPlugin.html
hasn't been updated since 2000, makes no mention of OS X plugin

http://homepage.mac.com/pcbeard/MRJPlugin/
contains links to the latest plugin version

http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/
states "This is NOT an official page!" but uses Mozilla site style and contains
"Copyright © 1998-2001 The Mozilla Organization." at the bottom.

I think it would make sense to at the very least have the latest MRJ Plugin
information available at mozilla.org -- I got the impression (perhaps from
VersionTracker.com?) that some users thought that because the latest plugins are
on Mac.com rather than mozilla.org the plugins are an outside project.  The
third site probably doesn't matter as much since it does mention that it is an
unofficial site, but I could see having that site out there leading to some
confusion.

The official site for the MRJ OJI plugins should be reduced to just two:

http://www.mozilla.org/oji/MRJPlugin.html

and

http://www.mozilla.org/oji/MRJPluginCarbon.html

I have no control over

http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/

At one time I believe [e-mail] was posting plugins there.

I'm not sure about ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/OJI/MRJPlugin.sit.hqx
is this file always updated?

MRJ download is only required for Netscape 4.x, this page is obsolete -> wontfix

For Java information, users should refer to the release notes.
