Has anyone tried the latest IcedTea dist (1.8 I think), which I believe
has the Java plugin?  Is this the way FreeBSD will provide the Java
plugin or is there still hope that Oracle/Sun will opensource the plugin
code?  I know this has been brought up before, with firefox 4 in the
works I'm sure it will require a newer java as well.

                         Thanks,
                             Scott =20
