[Bug 690593] [NEW] IcedTea Java Console not available in Firefox

 

Public bug reported:

There are some posts about this on the internet but I have not managed
to get this to work with the openJDK. I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have
the IcedTea Java plugin 1.9.2 (6b20) installed. I also have the Web
Developer plugin (1.1.8) for Firefox. There is an option under Web
Developer to open the Java console (Tools | Web Developer | Tools | Java
Console) but this appears to do nothing. The short cut sequence (ctrl-
shift-O) happens to be the same as that to open bookmarks in Firefox and
that's what you get when you press it (I couldn't find a way of
disabling that to see if that might help). I need the Java console to
see my logging in my Java applet as something is going wrong. Someone
suggested in an internet post that starting Firefox from a terminal box
would print the console information in the terminal but I saw nothing
when I tried.

Thank you.
