+Manage Plugin
+-------------
+The IcedTea browser plugin (NPPlugin) can be enabled using
+eselect java-nsplugin.
+
+Select JVM
+----------
+IcedTea-Web (>=1.4) supports selecting the JVM to use for the plugin. Currently
+works for all IcedTea releases. The eselect module java-nsplugin in
+>=eselect-java-0.1.0 added support for this.
+
+Per user configuration
+----------------------
+IcedTea-Web also supports per user configuration which takes precedence over the
+global choice of JVM managed by the java-nsplugin module. If you made use of
+itweb-settings as user to set a JVM for instance and want to give control back
+to java-nsplugin to manage the JVM to use run as your user:
+'sed -i -e "/^deployment.jre.dir=/d" ~/.icedtea/deployment.properties'
+
+Per user plugin selection via eselect java-nsplugin is a longstanding feature
+request. Bug 148632
