[Cullmann-t <290707@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS and all related Java/plugin infrastructure) was a long
time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these
components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann

Title:
  konqueror: LiveConnect/JavaScript not working (IcedTeaPlugin not
  recognized)

Status in KDE Base:
  Unknown
Status in kde-baseapps package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: konqueror

  konqueror does have it's very own idea about applet support, but
  doesn't allow this support be replaced with support which comes with
  other plugins like IcedTeaPlugin.

  There's more than one issue:

   - /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins isn't searched for plugins. AFAIK this is the standard path for xulrunner-1.9
     compatible plugins (there are other paths like /opt/foo* which are searched for plugins, and probably should
    be removed.

   - Now with /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins added, LiveConnect still doesn't work. As an example visit
     http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/java/ColorBlockApplet.html and you should be able to change the colors
     and get the alert box by clicking the applet area (install firefox and openjdk-6-jre for a working example).

  As a workaround just use firefox for applets requiring LiveConnect
  support.

  Confirmed by Riddell on irc.
