Hello, people.
After struggling for a week with OpenJDK I think I have something almost
working. Of course, it has bugs, but I don't know much about them.
So, I'm going to merge firefox and OpenJDK branches to /hipster (and
also icedtea-web component) tomorrow.
https://github.com/pyhalov/oi-userland/commits/firefox
https://github.com/pyhalov/oi-userland/compare/openjdk
This means - firefox 17 is coming (24 had some troubles with several
browser plugins), also some dependent JDS/Xnv components.
One big concern here - new firefox is not compatible with Oracle JDK
plugin (I think Studio/GCC compatibility issues).
I'll put icedtea-web in (with OpenJDK 1.7.45), but
a) JDK 6 => OpenJDK 7 migration (I know, Java is compatible... only in
theory).
b) icedtea-web is new, fresh and I feel we'll find some new bugs
Of course, one can always use SunCC-compiled FF from
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/contrib/ and Oracle JDK,
but it will not work out of the box.
Are there any really strong objections? :)
