+ This Fedora Core release includes a preview release of gcjwebplugin, a Free Firefox plugin for Java applets.  It is provided by the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-plugin package, which is installed by default as part of the Internet group of packages.  gcjwebplugin is still under active development and should not be used to load untrusted applets.

+ [[Admonition("warning", "Use gcjwebplugin with caution", "For each applet you attempt to load, before even starting to load it, gcjwebplugin displays a cautionary dialog box about the state of GNU Classpath's security implementation.  The dialog allows you to either not load the applet or to trust the applet and load it.  If you do not want even this level of risk, you can uninstall the plugin with this command, run as root:")]]
