Hello, folks.
For about six months, I have been trying to get Netscape 6's JRE plug-in
to work under NetBSD, in both Netscape 6 and Mozilla, but the Java VM
would either hang (way back in the past) ou spawn many child processes
and then hang, taking the browser with it. Is this any known bug, or am
I making something wrong? Can anyone make it work?
It would be nice if a native Mozilla could run the Linux plug-in (for
Java and for anything else), but I think this is not possible due to
different shared library formats. Is this true? Would it be possible
to write "wrappers" plug-ins in NetBSD that would them call the code in
library built for Linux?
How close is NetBSD to getting more native Java tools (SDK, VM, RE
etc.), so that interoperating Java and NetBSD would be easier?
