[plug] debian sid (unstable) - mozilla-snapshot - java2sdk1.4 - problem with applets?

[Sacha Schlegel]

Hi PLUG

Did you have this problem:

PROBLEM:

j2sdk1.4 from blackdown (official debs) works.
mozilla-snapshot (official debs) works.

BUT java applets in mozilla-snapshot does not work.

CAUSE:

j2sdk1.4 was compiled with gcc-2.95
mozilla-snapshot with gcc-3.3 (or gcc-3.2)

SOLUTION:

get unofficial j2sdk1.4 debs (compiled with gcc-3.2!) from
jopa.studentenweb.org

new /etc/apt/sources entry:
deb http://jopa.studentenweb.org/debian ./

instead of (or similar):

deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/java-linux/debian unstable main
non-free

-------------

Hope it works for you too.

Sacha
