Package: x11vnc-data
Version: 0.9.10-1
This is (IMHO) a bug, but this report is mainly a head-ups and
announcement that it is fixed in the x11vnc 0.9.11 upstream tarball.
The debian x11vnc-data jar files were not built to enable compatibility
back to earlier JVM's on the (arbitrary) client-side machine.
For example, connecting to a debian machine with another machine
with java 1.5 plugin in the web browser shows the following error
in the Java console:
Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06
Using JRE version 1.5.0_06 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = /home/runge

There is no reason not to support earlier JVM's on the client side (e.g.
legacy system, Windows, etc.) x11vnc-data can go back to java 1.4
(this is when SSL was added.)
In the x11vnc-0.9.11 tarball the Makefiles now contain the string
'-target 1.4 -source 1.4' passed to javac that enables this, so this
support should happen automatically when the x11vnc src is updated to
this version.
