It does not support applet/Javascript +communication (LiveConnect) and support for signed applets needs +further testing. The current applet security manager may be too +strict and may require tuning to allow otherwise-legitimate calls by +untrusted applets. + +gcjwebplugin itself is a shared object, gcjwebplugin.so, built from a +single source file, gcjwebplugin.cc. The IcedTea adaptation of +gcjwebplugin communicates through named pipes with a modified version +of IcedTea's appletviewer. Two source files, +openjdk/j2se/src/share/classes/sun/applet/PluginAppletViewer.java, +openjdk/j2se/src/share/classes/sun/applet/PluginMain.java are added to +rt.jar and tools.jar to provide gcjwebplugin with an interface into +the appletviewer code. This support code is provided in +patches/icedtea-plugin.patch.
