[OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 webstart

[Predrag Zecevic [Unix Systems Administrator]]

Hi again,

Just FYI: /dev repository (a9) has different firefox-java package then /hipster (2015):

http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/manifest/0/web%2Fbrowser%2Ffirefox%2Fplugin%2Ffirefox-java%400.5.11%2C5.11-0.151.1.9%3A20140117T203525Z
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-2015/manifest/0/web%2Fbrowser%2Ffirefox%2Fplugin%2Ffirefox-java%401.4.1%2C5.11-2014.1.1.1%3A20140719T120849Z

Later one has javaws from OpenJDK:
$ pkg contents pkg:/web/browser/firefox/plugin/firefox-java | grep javaws
usr/jdk/instances/openjdk1.7.0/jre/bin/javaws
usr/share/icedtea-web/javaws_splash.png
usr/share/man/man1/javaws.1

With best regards,
Predrag Zečević
