Package: icedtea-web
Version: 1.1.4-1

Hi,

currently, I think that the only way to have the file "plugin.jar" in
Debian is to install the package icedtea-netx-common.
plugin.jar is necessary to develop applets.

Therefore, I think it should be either in its own package or in icedtea-plugin.

Moreover, it would be also convenient to have it available (for
example with a symbolic link) in <openjdk_home>/jre/lib/plugin.jar
since that's the place where it is in Oracle's distribution and some
tools could look for it in this place (eg: maven pom.xml with system
dependencies).

Thanks,
