New issue 20087 by goo...@tjworld.org: Java plug-in doesn't work (IcedTea)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20087

Chrome Version       : 4.0.203.0~svn20090823r24088-0ubuntu1~ucd1~jaunty
OS + version : Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): amd64
window manager : Gnome
URLs (if applicable) :
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Works
Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): N/A

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start using "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.3pre/ chromium-
browser --enable-plugins" to ensure IcedTeaPlugin.so finds libmozjs.so,
libxpcom.so and libxul.so from the xulrunner-1.9.1 package (can also use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.13/ for xulrunner-1.9).

2.about:plugins lists "File name: libjavaplugin.so" without the "IcedTea
Java Web Browser Plugin" title and doesn't show any MIME type table
entries.

3. Java applets don't work



What is the expected result?

about:plugins should show the plug-in name and list several MIME types such
as:
MIME Type       Description     Suffixes        Enabled
application/x-java-vm   IcedTea         class,jar       Yes
application/x-java-applet       IcedTea         class,jar       Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.1   IcedTea         class,jar       Yes
application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1         IcedTea         class,jar       
Yes
...

What happens instead? The java plugin is not loaded.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot
and backtrace if possible.

"/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so" is a symbolic link:

libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so

which is in turn a symbolic link to:

/etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-
openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

The fact that about:plugins shows the original symbolic link name suggests
that chromium isn't using 'readlink' to resolve to the final shared object
library:

readlink -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
