Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-10-24 18:52:59 MSD 
Lite 4.0.3 doesn't install a Java plugin for its browser: 

$ rpm -qa '*java*'
fonts-ttf-java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.03-alt1
java-common-1.3.6-alt4
java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.03-alt1
$ rpm -qa '*jre*'
$ 

But Java applets are quite popular and useful. 

It's even more a pity because there are free working Java runtimes available (unlike, say, Flash, which is also popular; on some sites, Java applets may be an alternative to Flash, but Lite users are still unable to play them).

Example: in Lite 4.0.3, I can't watch http://www.gnu.org/fry/ , although they have provided a free Java applet ("Cortado") to play the video for those who don't have a special player installed -- http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/OggOnTheRise .
