Hello,

Many people here in Norway (who run Hardy Alpha6) cannot login to their internet bank or do any other internet transactions because the Firefox's Java-plugin does not work. The security and login system is called BankID applet and it requires Sun's Java5/6 (or possibly later) plugin and JavaVM. Unfortunately the BankID does not work with the IcedTea java-7.

You can test the BankID here: http://bankid.no
Clik on the "teste" link to test it. (english explanation is also avail http://bankid.no/index.db2?id=4373 )

Of course, the following (xcb related) workaround does work and BankID applet with Suns JavaVM is happy, but most end users will not understand these commands
$ export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
$ firefox

So this bug is rather severe.

When will Sun Microsystems release Java7? Will it get into the Hardy before due date.
Am happy to help what ever you ask ;-)
