Title:RHBA-2015:2457: icedtea-web bug fix and enhancement update (Moderate)
Description:The IcedTea-Web project provides a Java web browser plug-in and an implementation of Java Web Start, which is based on the netX project. It also contains a configuration tool for managing deployment settings for the plug-in and Web Start implementations. IcedTea-Web now also contains PolicyEditor - a simple tool to configure Java policies.

The icedtea-web packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.6.1, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Notable changes include the following:

The IcedTea-Web documentation and man pages have been significantly expanded.
  • IcedTea-Web now supports bash completion.
  • The "Custom Policies" and "Run in Sandbox" features have been enhanced.
  • An -html switch has been implemented for the Java Web Start (JavaWS) framework, which can serve as a replacement of the AppletViewer program.
  • It is now possible to use IcedTea-Web to crate desktop and menu launchers for applets and JavaWS applications.

  • (BZ#1217153)

    Users of icedtea-web are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
