Hello, people.

After struggling for a week with OpenJDK I think I have something almost working. Of course, it has bugs, but I don't know much about them. So, I'm going to merge firefox and OpenJDK branches to /hipster (and also icedtea-web component) tomorrow.

https://github.com/pyhalov/oi-userland/commits/firefox

https://github.com/pyhalov/oi-userland/compare/openjdk

This means - firefox 17 is coming (24 had some troubles with several browser plugins), also some dependent JDS/Xnv components.

One big concern here - new firefox is not compatible with Oracle JDK plugin (I think Studio/GCC compatibility issues).
I'll put icedtea-web in (with OpenJDK 1.7.45), but
a) JDK 6 => OpenJDK 7 migration (I know, Java is compatible... only in theory).
b) icedtea-web is new, fresh and I feel we'll find some new bugs

Of course, one can always use SunCC-compiled FF from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/contrib/ and Oracle JDK,
but it will not work out of the box.

Are there any really strong objections? :)
