I haven't looked into this enough recently but I would suggest there are two promising options. If Sun is including a FF 3.6 compatible plugin with its current jdk16 release then we should grab the newest available jdk16 code and update the jdk16 port with it. Thats not a small piece of work though as the port is languishing at Update 3 and I think Sun is at Update 18. The other option is to port the IcedTea plugin to our openjdk6 port, assuming that is FF 3.6 compatible. That shouldn't be too difficult. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
