[icedtea-web] - problems configuring with: --disable-plugin

[Jiri Vanek]

This is right place to ask.

What you are descibing, souds like a bug. It canbe in itw, or in your environment. Or in your usage.

Isn't configure writing any other warnings?

Because in 1.7,this had changed:    --disable-native-plugin  is what you search for. Where id you
find old --disable-plugin?
