[Bug 1201940] Re: icedtea-plugin should be a dependency of java-common

[Micah Gersten]

We specifically removed the plugin from media since it has the potential
for many security issues.  See Bug #1033575 .

Title:
  icedtea-plugin should be a dependency of java-common

Status in “icedtea-web” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “java-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In my opinion, icedtea-plugin should be a dependecy of java-common.
  For non-experienced users can be very strange that having Java
  installed, it doesn't works in the web browser. It happened to me, I
  even thought Java didn't work in web browsers in Linux. So, I think
  icedtea-plugin should be a dependency of java-common in order to make
  it easier (and logical) to all users.
