Java applet support through QWebPluginFactory::create I

Currently java applet support is not implemented in QtWebKit. Additionally the request to create a JavaApplet widget simply calls notImplemented() and returns a NULL. See the "createJavaAppletWidget" function under WebKit/qt/WebCoreSupport/FrameLoaderClientQt.cpp. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for client level applications to provide their own Java applet support by re-implementing QWebPluginFactory like they can for other plugins such as flash. The attached patch attempts to address this issue by simply making it possible for client applications to handle java applets through QWebPluginFactory::create(...) function.

Though this bug report is about for letting client applications handle java applet support if they so choose, bug #33044 is its cousin report ; so it is linked to here for reference...

This part looks incorrect to me. Why are you avoiding the calls to PluginView::create?

I thought especially on platforms where the Java support comes through an NPAPI plugin - see Bug #33044 - AFAICS that call is needed.

I'm fine with this part of the patch :)

Oops, forgot that!

That was because without applying the patch specified in #33044, actually the patch it depends on #3, that call will result in a SEGFAULT. To be honest there is really no need for this bug report as 33044 already exists and can be used to track Java applet support better...
