314218 - New version of JEP (0.9.5+a), please land on trunk and branch

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 315637

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Steven Michaud [:smichaud] (Retired)]

I've just released another new version (0.9.5+a) of the Java Embedding Plugin:

http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/

It contains some minor fixes, the most important of which only effect users of
Mac OS X 10.4.X (Tiger).  Of these, the first fixes a hang that can (under
unusual circumstances) take place in Camino on exit.  The second fixes what
was actually a regression in version 0.9.5, and causes mildly annoying
behavior when switching between pages that contain applets -- the new page
sometimes won't update until you move the mouse.

It's too late (of course) to get these fixes into Firefox 1.5 RC1 (though I
think they should be landed on the Mozilla 1.8 branch when it gets unfrozen
after the RC1 release).

But, though they're relatively minor, I think they're important enough to be
landed on the trunk and the Camino 1.0 branch as soon as possible.

Steven - we are pretty closed down for rc2 here.

This doesn't appear to fix enough stuff to justify a branch landing. I'll put it on the trunk soon.

Since this specifically addresses issues related to cocoa browsers, is there any way we can get this to land on the branch for Camino only?

There is probably a way technically, but it is probably not pretty and still probably not worth it.

Sure, we just land it on the mini-branches we do for Camino releases.

smichaud - just assign these bugs to me as I'm the one who normally takes care of landing JEP stuff. Thanks.

This has been landed on the trunk without a real sr. There seemed to be a general agreement to let it bake there.

This bug is superceded by bug 315637. Resolving as a duplicate of that bug.
