> The JNLP file's information elements are not available for use when

> access dialogs pop up, they try to use
> PluginBridge.getInformation(). This is set to return a new (and so,
> empty) ArrayList rather than the contents of the information tag. To
> test this, use this applet[1] and click Open.
> 
> I've setup the info instance var in the PluginBridge constructor to
> either be the JNLP file's info or to be a new ArrayList if jnlp_href
> is not being used.

> PluginBridge.getInformation() is no longer needed because the
> superclass's method does what we want so I've removed it. There was
> the following comment in the method:
> 
> "Should we populate this list with applet attribute tags?"
> 
> I left this as is for now because JNLPFile.getInformation's javadoc
> states it only returns the <information> tag's elements. It might
> cause some confusion/inconsistency with the javadoc if we were to
> store the applet's attribute here. If we were to add a
> PluginBridge.getInformation, it would be identical in
> implementation. Apart from this, I don't see the harm in adding the
> attributes to the info - they are visible to the public anyway
> through ^U! The "name" attribute could also be used if there is no
> <title> so it might be useful to do so.

> I've also added "(unverified)" to the ends of the Publisher label of
> access dialogs because this can easily be spoofed.
