This is because gcjwebplugin, the plugin which is being developed, currently runs Java applets *without* a "sandbox" -- which is what keeps Java applets from accessing the rest of your data. It makes Java less secure than ActiveX (and that's saying something). A sandbox is coming -- it's one of the things on the list of things to do. Then Fedora should be able to support Java applets on the web out of the box -- no configuration necessary. See http://www.nongnu.org/gcjwebplugin/ for more details. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "When you're new to computers, you think they're magic. @westexe.demon.co.uk | Then you learn some stuff and think you understand | them.
