[OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox

$ pwd
/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.8.0_31
$ find . -name "libjava*"
./jre/lib/amd64/libjava_crw_demo.so
./jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so

 

So where is this plugin? I am asking because I suspect that Oracle has dropped the
Java plugin for Solaris & friends. But the plugin is included for Linux and other
"supported" platforms:
