[Moderator note: In response to the post yesterday on the Warpzilla IBM Java13 Plugin Enabler, Andy forwards the following earlier posts from Mike Kaply of IBM concerning Java 1.3, and other plugins with the Warpzilla web browser. These posts are from the Mozilla OS/2 news group - news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.os2 and warn about potential problems with running Warpzilla (Mozilla 0.9.x for OS/2) with plugins. To summarize, this is not supported by IBM.]

>From Mozilla newsgroup:
If you find a hang in Warpzilla PLEASE test it WITHOUT Java.

We need to know whether the hang is a Warpzilla hang or a Java hang.

If I see bugs that are opened as hangs without explicitly saying that Java was NOT involved or the page that hangs has Java on it, I will mark the bug INVALID.

My team does not own the Java plugin and we can't fix bugs in it.

And a little more information about plugins in general but not java in particular as it "works" but may hang the system as per above.

If you mean the IBM 4.61 MIDI plugins, none of the 4.61 plugins are supported on Warpzilla.

The architecture of these plugins makes assumptions that only 4.61 meets.

They are supported in IBM Web Browser. They aren't supported in Warpzilla.
I know that sounds weird.

We put in some incredibly ugly hacks in cross-platform code to make them work.

We can't do this in Mozilla.
