           Summary: Entities are parsed incorrectly in PARAM tag in applet
                    plugin
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: 6-1.8.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea6
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: dani at wiris.com

Features:
  OS: linux, Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, 32 bits
  Browser: 
     firefox 3.6.3
     Google Chrome 7.0.717.44
  Icedtea version: 6b18-1.8.2-4ubuntu2

Note that with the same os and browser and java of sun, there is no bug.

The following applet

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Label;

public class IcedteaAppletParam extends Applet {
  public void init() {
    String str=this.getParameter("myparam");
    this.add(new Label(str));
  }
}

With the following html page
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
Title
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<APPLET CODE="IcedteaAppletParam" HEIGHT="200" WIDTH="200" ALIGN="bottom">
<PARAM NAME="myparam" VALUE="begin&quot;end"></APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Displays
        begin
instead of
        begin"end

Thus, the &quot; entity is interpreted differently, and I assume wrongly,
respect to other java plugins.
