(Which it turns out I don't need a "plugin" per se, because Opera took care of that, and I like Opera, so that part is solved. Firefox fans can go figure out their own problems.) So really now this is just an issue of the preferred manner of having a jdk. I have yet to understand what openjdk is supposed to be versus what diablo-jdk is supposed to be, at least in terms of FreeBSD.. I know that openjdk is being designed for many platforms while diablo-jdk is FreeBSD specific, but the dependencies make it appear that openjdk on FreeBSD equals diablo-jdk plus other packages. Is diablo-jdk missing some functionality that openjdk provides? Or are they somehow qualitatively different things? If somebody could explain what's going on here, that'd be great. Thanks, Brian
