Hello, Jiri.
Sorry for the delayed answer.
np :) Thank you for Answer!
From the code point of view you current change looks OK to me. It's an
internal package and we can change the access modifier easily.
The more general question is what are you going to achieve by making this
change?
In JDK-9 we would have modules and you will not be able to use the sun.*
packages at all, so this changeset is useless for JDK9.
Do you want this to go to JDK8?
Well I would guess it needs to go to jdk9 first, and then to jdk8, and maybe
also to jdk7.
I would be happy to have it in all three :) (but yes, 8 is priority) And I also guess that it can
not go to 8 without being in 9 (?).
I know that in jdk9 the modules are coming, and that this will become an serious issue. The API
suggested in original discussion will be the only chance.
In the original discussion there was a suggestion about providing a standard
public interface for alternative plugins.
This path looks more promising to me, because it will work in JDK9. Did any
progress happen in that direction?
Nope. My Apologies. I will focus on this API in close future. Actually I'm not sure where to begin,
but also I guess Mario will be able to provide those hints. In meantime this one liner would be
nice to have.
For now, I'm going to derive the API from original plugin-applet-hole patch little bit reduced by
experience from [3]
Best regards from CZ, and thank you for trying to help us.

Thank you.
With best regards. Petr.h

Hi!
IcedTea-Web [1] have now patch [3] from [2] thread, to work pretty smooth with
all Icedteas, all
Openjdks and all Oracle javas. It even do work with IBM java.
However, we needed to include few lines of copypasted code [3] line 274-283.
Well it is not so much,
but is potentially dangerous.
If this mini changeset -
http://jvanek.fedorapeople.org/oracle/jdk9/applet-minipatch/1/webrev/ may
go in, it would be awesome and will make icedtea-web true Openjdk plugin. Do
you think it is
possible?
Just note - there already was a discussion about unnecessary complex version of
similar patch - [4]
thread. As result it forbid any touches to sun.applet package. However current
webrev do not add any
more visibility. It changes from private to package private. I hope it is much
more suitable
I sent this message originally to jdk9-dev.. It/I was wrong I guess. Sorry
Best regards,
J.
