NPAPI support has been removed from all major browsers (Firefox 52,
Chrome 45, Safari 12, Edge), the Java plugin can no longer work and
applets are fading away from the web. For this reason the
src:icedtea-web package will no longer build the plugin in the next
update, and all related issues are tagged as wontfix and closed.
