522408 - Plug-in Check: "Unable to detect Plugin Version" for Java/JRE on W2k

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Websites :: plugins.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[gekacheka]

The Java plug-in supports Windows XP/Vista/2000/2003/2008
(see http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)
"Recommended Version 6 Update 16"

However, on this Windows 2000 machine, 
Plug-in Check (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/) says

  Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.160.1
  NPRuntime Script Plug-in Library for Java(TM) Deploy 	

  Unable to Detect Plugin Version

It seems strange that it was "unable to detect plugin version" since the version number is there in the title, and the Quicktime version number is also in its title and it was detected.

(Speculation: maybe Windows 2000 was omitted from the plug-in version matrix?

This is not the JRE, that is an additional plugin from java.
That the version can not be detected may be fixed with bug 522585

wontfixing, win2k support is not a priority.
