gcjwebplugin: Update

[Cian Duffy]

A media plugin: Either mplayers own plugin, mozplugger, or VLC's own
plugin - I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think I remember either xine
or mplayer being able to load in QuickTime binary codecs from OSX -
and both of these are supported by mozplugger

The newest SWFDec - it doesn't compile out of the box for me and I'm
not hugely interested ATM, but will take a look at it again soon if
no-one else does. This brings a lot more functionality to the swfdec
Mozilla plugin - All of Flash 6 minus ActionScript.

OpenOffice 2.0 and its browser plugin - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and
OO.o's formats in a very nice looking Firefox plugin. This would be a
pretty massive undertaking however, as I've been told that Java is
ever more needed in getting OO.o to run, and its database engine is
written in Java.

PDF plugin? - There has to be a Mozilla plugin for one of the xpdf
based PDF viewers. However I don't know of any...
