Win, Mac and Linux 11/3 branch builds. 1.) Click on Tasks, Tools, Java Console. What happens: Nothing. What is expected: The java console to appear.

Confirmed. Regression too.. Was working like three days ago.. And I was wondering why applets didn't load anymore. :P Build 20001102 win32

regression keyword

--> xpapps

I tried to hunt the bug in the code, and the first suspicious piece I could find is here : seamonkey/source/plugin/oji/MRJ/plugin/Source/MRJPlugin.cpp#249 The only contributor to this file is Patrick Beard, xpcom plugin implementation. Do you think we should send this to xpcom? Maybe someone who can read the code better than me can tell what's wrong in all the toJavaConsole, Show(), etc functions that lead to the opening of the Console. Fabian.

CC beard@netscape. Patrick Beard, I'm sorry if you have nothing to do with this for wasting your time, but your name appears in all the files related to the java console. Fabian.

shrir, should this go to OJI, or one of the other java components? strangely enough, i was able to open the Java console using today's linux branch bits.

come onnnn...this is working on windows/linux branch builds for me (limbo2+ , 20001103). For mac, qa:junruh.

sairuh: yes, OJI is the rite component.

This is now a Mac-only bug. Don't forget to install java through the Netscape 6 installer for Win and Linux. On Mac I have MRJ 2.2.3 installed.

On linux, juhn was seeing bug 58259 (redhat 6.0 and java plugin don't go together) ;)

pp for mac only.

The real problem here is that Java under OJI on the Mac can't create new top- level windows. The interface method nsIPluginManager2::RegisterWindow() isn't implemented in the plugin module. Under Mozilla classic this method would make the window visible to the application's event loop, and pass events to the nsIEventHandler passed along with the window. The place this needs to be fixed is in nsPluginHostImpl::RegisterWindow(): http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/nglsrc/ nsPluginHostImpl.cpp#1969

Which recent checkin broke this?

This has never worked, therefore it can't be a regression.

I think we could ship without this fix. This is not a matter of Java not working, just the console, right? That would only be used for debugging, and not by an end user, right? Therefore, I don't think that this is critical at this late date.

PDT marking [rtm-] given beard and michaell comments.

Build ID: 2000112720 on Win2Kpro 5.00.2195 SP1 IE5.5, and WinMe 4.90.3000 IE5.5 When you choose |Tasks|Tools|Java Console| from the menu, nothing happens. The Java Console does not come up and nothing appears in the desktop pan. It does in NN6, but I don't know if it ever did for M18 since I've never been able to successfully install it on Win2Kpro. Definitely not a Mac-only problem. The JavaScript console does come up (I don't know if that helps or not.).

Curtis: This is a mac bug. Your bug is unrelated. I suspect you don't have the JRE installed for Mozilla. When you file this (or find the correct already filed bug) please mention that this menu should not be available if java isn't installed.

Confirmed. Bug entered as 61474. Apologies.
