webkit-browser has no java

Hi

I want to switch from firefox to arora (or a webkit based browser). Java and flash works under firefox. Arora find the flashplugin but not the javaplugin. Precisely   all webkit based browser do not find the javaplugin.
The javaplugin seems to be installed /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ like the flashplugin:
ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
total 9392
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    4096 2009-11-16 13:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root    4096 2009-07-31 08:58 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9560488 2009-07-31 08:58 libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      35 2009-11-10 22:11 libnpjp2.so -> /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   43149 2009-11-03 05:43 mozplugger.so

any ideas?

thx

What explains the fact that Chromium works with Java then?

Does Chromium use a forked version of webkit?

Re: webkit-browser has no java

The browser is what supports java, not webkit (that I know of), but if you have problems with that, try poking around the java control panel (command: ControlPanel).

Yes and no. Read here about latest stuff in openjdk6/IcedTea. http://dbhole.wordpress.com/

Old API plugin isn't supported webkit browsers. New "npplugin" is what we are waiting for. Sadly it doesn't compile currently with latest xulrunner headers.

Re: webkit-browser has no java

I'm just a little bit confused.

Webkit supports the new npapi (Netscape Plugin API). The javaplugin implements the old one.... Or is it the other way round?
