Hi,

I've merged LiveConnect support from the IcedTea 7 branch to icedtea6
and fixed a few things.  Now people will be able to build and experiment
with IcedTeaPlugin.so much more easily.  Here are instructions for
Fedora 9 users:

1) yum install xulrunner-devel-unstable
2) ./configure --with-openjdk --enable-liveconnect
3) make
4) ln -sf
`pwd`/openjdk/control/build/linux-i586/j2sdk-image/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so
~/.mozilla/plugins
5) Browse to about:plugins and confirm that IcedTeaPlugin is listed

The plugin is still unstable and should NOT be enabled in distribution
packages.

Tom
