88778 - Mozilla 0.9.2 does not start with java pluggin. Was working with 0.9.1

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[valette]

I installed all my netscape 4.7 pluggins with 0.9.1. Only the acroread pluggin
was not found but at least it worked. I then installed 0.9.2, and copied again
the pluggins. Mozilla did strat the profile banner but then nothing more. I
removed all the pluggins, it started. After a bit of trial and error, the
/usr/lib/j2re1.3/plugin/i386/javaplugin.so was the culprit. Note that other
pluggin such as realplayer, plugger, shockwave are OK. I add the same install
with mozilla 0.9.1 and the same machine and it worked.

System : Linux debian (woody/testing).

If it can help, I also losed Jpeg image viewing from inside mozilla. I managed
to set up xv as a temporary viewer...

Just to say that I tested it with two JRE environment : blacdown 1.3 and sun
implementation (plugin/ns600/xxx)

I use 1.3.1 and it works ok. It always crashes the first time when installing,
but after that all times it has worked ok
Remember to make the symlink from /plugins to where the libjavaplugin_oji.so file is

I've recreated this on one of the 3 Linux workstations I use.  All three are
running 2.4.4 kernels with Ximian GNOME installed.  The only thing that is
different on that one machine is the GLIBC version.  The machine that has the
hanging problem was upgraded with the GLIBC2.2.3 RPM from rawhide
(ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/).  Right now everything else is
similar (all three are clean installs of RedHat 7.0 plus Ximian GNOME and have
been kept "up-to-date" using Ximian's Red Carpet).  Except for the GLIBC upgrade
on the problem machine.

Hope that helps

I should have pointed out that the GLIBC version I use is the same that cause
problems with RH7.0 updated RPM...

Marking NEW while this is sorted out.

Comment 9

[edburns]

For the record.  I just built today's 0.9.2 branch and java works with 
JDK1.3.1.  

I have the stock RH 7.0.

Marking WORKSFORME.  If there is some GLIBC incompatability issue, perhaps it's 
another bug.
