I would like to invite anyone reading this to consider installing the (officially supported) package icedtea6-plugin and test whether their frequently used Java web applications work with it. I know the open- source Java implementations have been plagued by all kinds of compatibility issues, but OpenJDK & IcedTea have been improving by leaps and bounds, up to a point that even picky java apps often work with them.
Indeed, Oracle picked a particularly bad timing for this questionable move. I have no particular interest in pushing the open-source alternatives but I feel Oracle should pay for this. Make them feel they're rendering their newly acquired assets irrelevant by declaring war on the open source community! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905026 Title: Browser plugin not working after upgrade to Sun jre 1.6.0_26-b03 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/905026/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
