This bug is dependent on Bugzilla bug 78150
Depends on: 78150
->0.9.6 sine http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78150 on which this depends is set to that
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla0.9.6
->0.9.7 since the dependency moved to that milestone
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.6 → mozilla0.9.7
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.7 → mozilla0.9.8
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78150 on which this depends still does not have a target set. Setting to 1.0 milestone for the time being - will modify appropriately based on #78150's progress.
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.8 → mozilla1.0
Chak, The dependency bug has been marked FIXED. However, I'm not sure that has resolved the issue. The debate has moved to: "Don't download Java plug-in if some other is already installed" http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123124 I'm not sure how this is going to affect embeddors. I guess JRE 1.4 needs to be tested with this preference to see if it can be detected. If it is still needed, can this pref be included on all.js for embeddors and otherwise excluded?
->1.0.1 per ADT
Target Milestone: mozilla1.0 → mozilla1.0.1
-->WONTFIX JRE scanning is on by default now. In bug 133282 this pref was taken out and a new one that you can specify the minimum compatibility version was added: pref("plugin.scan.SunJRE", "1.3"); If you have more than one JRE installed, the newest one will be used.
