How is it? > > well, icedtea, from the latest news in my possession has merged with openjdk ad java plugin and it supports nearly 90% of java around (this means that there's no need for a 32bit wrapper for java with firefox). gnash is now fully compatible with flash v7 and has about 50% of flash 8 and 9 serie. now with the opening of the flash format specifications gnash should progress much faster than it was before. for example i've read that with firefox 2 with gnash and java youtube (usually a quite bad site for flash players and which has also some java code included, for my knowledge) is playing well (more than 85% of videos work well and the remnants just need to use the gnash controls to work). but as i've said, i haven't tried it yet so i don't know if these assertions are reallly true. -- dott. ing. beso
