doesnt work for me too.had to switch to sun java 7.someone fix this.

Building and using a fresh checkout from

hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web

works

The fix for the problem is the same for:

[1] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.openjdk.distro-packaging.devel/16422

And:

[2] http://old.nabble.com/build-failure-with-new-Xulrunner-8-td32806735.html

Current development version works out well cause there's a better fix even than the patch proposed, under plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc, they have now:

// Returns a string describing the MIME type that this plugin
// handles.
#ifdef LEGACY_XULRUNNERAPI
char*
#else
const char*
#endif
NP_GetMIMEDescription ()
{
PLUGIN_DEBUG ("NP_GetMIMEDescription\n");

PLUGIN_DEBUG ("NP_GetMIMEDescription return\n");

return (char*) PLUGIN_MIME_DESC;
}

So now they evaluate which version of xulrunner is used in order to use a constant string or not as return...

As arch is using newer version of xulrunner, perhaps it would be a good idea to apply the patch as it is (not sure if the fix evaluating the xulrunner version would work on 1.1.4 last stable version), and see if with current arch version (just new release) the problem can get solved without waiting for 1.2.*. The patch is:

My mistake regarding the patch... It was just necessary to make icedtea-web-java7 compile against newer Xulrunner (8 and beyond). What really makes the bug go away is a more recent snapshot of icedtea-web-java7, which fixes it. For guys compiling against Xulrunner, that implied the patch while the evaluation of the Xulrunner version was not present. Even for them, the patch is no longer required, since the evaluation is present in more current snapshots...

Any ways, a recent snapshot of icedtea-web-java7 is what's required, as Michael reported... There doesn't seem to be a way to avoid that...

I have the same problem with some java sites. Sometimes the applets work well, sometimes not.
This Java test is not working (grey box):
http://www.java.com/fr/download/testjava.jsp

icedtea-web-java7 1.1.4-2
jre7-openjdk 7.b147_2.0-6
jre7-openjdk-headless 7.b147_2.0-6
firefox 10.0-2
chromium 17.0.963.46-1

Am I alone?

Just in case someone wants to get icedtea working with firefox:
---
sudo pacman -S base-devel mercurial jdk7-openjdk --needed
hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web
cd icedtea-web
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-jdk-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk
make && sudo make install

---
Shouldn't we have a working icedtea-web package (like nouveau-git) in repo than a non-working one?
thanks.

icedtea-web developers should crank it up a bit with reviews. I saw patches that are required for ff10 not reviewed yet for java6 variant

I am having exactly the same problem as described above.

Having installed:
Name : firefox
Version : 10.0.2-1

Name : jdk7-openjdk
Version : 7.b147_2.1-1

Name : jre7-openjdk
Version : 7.b147_2.1-1

Name : jre7-openjdk-headless
Version : 7.b147_2.1-1

Name : icedtea-web-java7
Version : 1.1.4-2


When I try to go to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
to test if java works, I just get a grey applet.
I took a screenshot of it: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-021512-114451.php
Notice it saying "Applet loaded." on the bottom left corner of firefox.

Other Java applications are not working, same grey box appears on most -.-

I enabled debugging in the icedtea web control panel, here is the output of 'java.stderr' after trying the java.com testpage:
https://pastee.org/ghper
Though I dont know if this helps at all

icedtea-web-java7 1.2-1 just fixed this issue for me.
