Hello,

Many people here in Norway (who run Hardy Alpha6) cannot login to their
internet bank or do any other internet transactions because the
Firefox's Java-plugin does not work.  The security and login system is
called BankID applet and it requires Sun's Java5/6 (or possibly later)
plugin and JavaVM.  Unfortunately the BankID does not work with the
IcedTea java-7.

You can test the BankID here: http://bankid.no  
Clik on the "teste" link to test it.  (english explanation is also avail 
http://bankid.no/index.db2?id=4373 ) 

Of course, the following (xcb related) workaround does work and BankID applet 
with Suns JavaVM is happy, but most end users will not understand these commands
$ export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
$ firefox 

So this bug is rather severe.

When will Sun Microsystems release Java7?  Will it get into the Hardy before 
due date.
Am happy to help what ever you ask ;-)
