           Summary: Please make gcjwebplugin name and description
                    configurable
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: timo.lindfors at iki.fi


It would be nice if the name and description strings returned by the
gcjwebplugin were configurable.

Currently I have to do the following binary patching to login to the website of
my bank:

plugin="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so"
t="s@"
t+="GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.4"
t+="@"
t+="Java(TM) Plug-in                  1.4.2_05"
t+="@"
sed -i "$t" $plugin

t="s@"
t+="The GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) executes Java applets."
t+="@"
t+="Java(TM) Plug-in                                         1.4.2_05"
t+="@"
sed -i "$t" $plugin

since they use

http://www.pinlady.net/PluginDetect/

which requires that

1) either name or description matches regexp

Java.*Plug-In.*\d|\d.*Java.*Plug-In

2) and name matches also

[\d][\d\.\_,-]*
