Unfortunately QtWebKit does not yet support Java applets ; so this is an upstream issue. Will leave ticket open until it is resolved upstream or at least they allow plugins to handle the issue.

Hi,
I encounter this issue yesterday (being unable to load a java applet within rekonq browser, thus using webkit). After looking why the webkit library embedded in kde does not support java, I found out the following history :
- my latest kde version (4.5.3 from archlinux) is compiled against qt 4.7.1
- qt 4.7 embeds QtWebKit 2.0
- QtWebKit 2.0 was branched off WebKit trunk from SVN on [56441]
- unfortunately the java support patch was the revision [59449]
- we now have to wait for the release of QtWebKit 2.1, which was branched off WebKit trunk from SVN revision [63881] (thus including the java support patch)
Now, let's hope QtWebKit 2.1 to be released soon and included in qt!

Comment 3 Dawit Alemayehu 2010-11-19 14:12:17 UTC

This is an upstream issue that has been resolved for QtWebKit >= 2.1 as mentioned in comment #2. See http://gitorious.org/webkit/qtwebkit/commit/3c8023c and http://gitorious.org/webkit/qtwebkit/commit/8c6f4ae.

Comment 4 Joel 2010-11-19 15:07:51 UTC

I don't quite understand your comment... Are you saying the same thing as I am : java support is included in qtwebkit >= 2.1, but qtwebkit 2.1 is not included in the last release of qt yet, so not included in kdewebkit ? Do you know when that will happen ?

Yes. qtwebkit 2.1 has not yet been released. Of course any distro or person can download, compile and use that version from the qtwebkit git.

BTW, kdewebkit is not a specific version of qtwebkit. It is a simple wrapper that integrates QtWebKit into KDE. As such you can use it with any verison of qtwebkit so long as the qtwebkit API has not changed. 

> Do you know when that will happen ?

Nope, but you can check out http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitRelease21
