[parisc-linux] Problems with Web

[Nathaniel]

Problem #1: Mozilla (including Firefox) will not work.  It opens the main window then stops. It will not got any website or let me open any of the menus (example = preferences). However Epiphany browser works.

Problem #2: I am unable to get java working, and I have been unable to locate a java plugin or j2re for debian hppa.

Any help with the above problems would be appreciated.

I'll go out on a limb and say that GCC 3.5 will support java on hppa-linux.
It pretty much works now except for unwinding through signal frames.

I don't have any information on other java ports.

3.5 is in pretty rough shape at the moment.  Based on the previous
release schedule, the 3.5 (4.0?) release is probably about a year away.
I think debian has been experimenting with adding it to an earlier
release but I can't do that (ask Matthias).

gcc-3.3 in Debian already has the java patches, but it doesn't work 
very well there (lots of test failures). Dave and I are still trying to
sort out what is wrong with signal frame unwinding/libjava with gcc-3.5
and 2.4/2.6 kernels....

sablevm is supported on hppa-linux in switched and direct-threaded mode.
There are some issues with the inlined engine that I haven't had time to
investigate and figure out yet. It works quite well otherwise and is
actively being worked on.

kaffe can probably be made to work, at least in interpreter mode,
without too much work. It used to work ~2 years ago, but has probably 
bitrotted since then. If anyone is interested in working on this and
needs help, let me know.
