Description Julien Gouesse 2011-06-20 00:28:21 CEST 
Description of problem:
I installed Mageia 1 only with a DVD.

In the past, Java Web Start OpenJDK's implementation was bundled with the JRE. Now, it is in a separate package called "icedtea-web". Mageia 1 installs OpenJDK by default but without icedtea-web RPM which means that the final user has no out-of-the-box support of Java Web Start and applets. icedtea-web is already on the repository, why not installing it by default?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox 4
2. Go to any web page containing an applet or a Java Web Start link (.jnlp)
3.
Comment 1 Luc Menut 2011-06-20 01:06:52 CEST 
I confirm.
icedtea-web is not installed because it is missing on i586 and x86_64 iso DVD.

debug message in ddebug.log:
grep icedtea-web ddebug.log 
* unknown package `icedtea-web'

Comment 2 Luc Menut 2011-11-27 23:16:07 CET 
icedtea-web is not installed with Magia 2 alpha 1, because it is still missing on i586 and x86_64 iso DVD.
I guess the problem is more in bcd's config than in meta-task.
In lists/input_cat, java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin was explicitly added; it should be replaced by icedtea-web.

Indeed thanks ;) 

(but the package is not in cauldron, so keep this component)
