66885 - Java plugin won't install

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Matthew Cline]

Build 20010126, Linux 2.2.14 i686, RedHat 6.1

When I downloaded the JRE plugin, it got done with downloading, and then
it gets stuck, with the progress bar doing the "barber pole stripes" thing,
then cancel button greyed-out, and the throbber in the main window going
(but the throbber in the "Install Software" window inactive).  Clicking
on the window-manager "close" button doesn't do anything, but the
reset of the browser is responsive.

I restarted the browser, and then tried opening the jre.xpi file off of
the filesystem.  Once I click on "OK" for installing, it jumps right into
the stuck behavior I just described.

This is with a copy of Mozilla that's been unpacked into a user directory,
rather than being installed in /usr or /opt or the like, but I don't
think that this should make a difference.

(This might be a dup of bug 61049, but it seems to be different).

Well, looks like this has been fixed in the 2001012806 build.  Marking
WORKSFORME.

I tried to verify this with mozilla build 2001020606
Java plugin appears to install but after download/install/relaunch and accessing
java.sun.com, I am told I need to download the plugin again
