Bug Description
To provide proper integration with ubufox,
1. plugins that use update-alternatives mechanism should also put a link for their binary in
/usr/share/
and touch all /usr/lib/
2. All plugins should have a Description and Filename header added to the binary package control, like gnash:
Xb-Npp-Description: The GNU SWF Player (http://
Xb-Npp-File: libgnashplugin.so
--------
When encountering a java plugin Firefox offers a confusing dialog:
it gives two options:
1. "GCJ Web Browser Plugin"
2. "The GCJ Web Browser Plugin"
the second options supposedly uses openjdk.
No descriptions are given whatsoever.

To post a comment you must log in.
seems you have two plugins installed. in general this means that the plugin package doesnt provide the meta info how to better describe the plugin. so we fall back in whatever the plugin exports in its nsapi Description field (which often isnt really that good).
Which packages ship your java plugins?
