-Browser plugin
---------------
-
-The IcedTea browser plugin (NPPlugin) is now made immediately
-available to supporting browsers without the need for eselect. Note
-that Chromium-based browsers no longer support NPAPI-based plugins
-since the code was removed in September 2015. The list of supporting
-browsers is shrinking but still includes Firefox as of version 46.
-
-JVM selection
--------------
-
-By default, IcedTea's browser plugin and Web Start uses the JVM
-selected via eselect or the GENTOO_VM environment variable. Note that
-this doesn't have to be an IcedTea JVM. An Oracle JVM will also
-work. The choice can be overridden using the itweb-settings
-program. Simply blank out the field to restore the default behaviour.
-
-Coexistence with Oracle's plugin
---------------------------------
-
-The IcedTea browser plugin can no longer be installed alongside
-Oracle's plugin. This used to be possible thanks to eselect
-java-nsplugin but this was removed in an effort to simplify things. No
-one is likely to need both, especially with plugins being all but
-outlawed these days. To avoid any blockers, simply enable the nsplugin
-USE flag on icedtea-web or the Oracle packages, but not both.
-
-If you're wondering why we don't just leave plugin selection to the
-browser, it's because Firefox (and probably others) only allows you to
-disable all the Java plugins together, not individually.
-
-Coexistence with Oracle's Web Start
------------------------------------
-
-/usr/bin/javaws, the executable used to launch JNLP files from a
-browser, will always use IcedTea's implementation over Oracle's when
-icedtea-web is installed, regardless of which JVM has been
-selected. This is primarily for consistency with the browser
-plugin. If you want to use Oracle's implementation then simply
-uninstall icedtea-web.
-
-32-bit plugin on 64-bit systems
--------------------------------
-
-This is no longer supported as the 64-bit plugin can launch a 32-bit
-JVM. Other reasons for running a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit system
-have long passed.
-
-32-bit JVM on 64-bit systems
-----------------------------
-
-The emul-linux-x86-java package was removed in 2015 with the migration
-to full multilib. icedtea-bin now provides this feature via the
-multilib USE flag. Once installed, using the 32-bit variant is simply
-a case of selecting that VM as described above.
