Re: [kde] KDE should strive for better java support to gain more developers.

Hi John,

My biggest beef in that direction is Konqueror. Obviously the best browser
available and it uses an obscure java that just can't keep up. There is no
obvious ways of updating it either. Also failing to update Konq means many
people finish up running 3 or 4 browsers. This spoils the KDE experience.

Interesting.
Konqueror usually uses the default Java runtime, i.e. the first "java"
executable in $PATH.
This can be changed of course (Konqueror settings), so your distributor might
have changed it to some obscure version of Java, or put such a version into a
path where it is found earlier than a "good" one.

Cheers,
Kevin
