Install non-headless AWT libraries, needed by some GUIs (used to be X flag) Use the CACAO virtual machine rather than HotSpot. Don't install the X backend for AWT, needed by some GUIs (used to be X flag) Enable better font rendering using fontconfig. Use the JamVM virtual machine rather than HotSpot. If possible, recompile the final IcedTea executables with itself. Enable NSS security provider support. Enable browser plugin (NPPlugin), requires also the webstart flag to be enabled. Apply patch needed for pax enabled kernels. Build the SCTP NIO channel implementation against lksctp Build the PCSC driver against pcsc-lite Build the SunEC provider against system NSS Enable SystemTap probes in HotSpot. Enable Zero assembler port (usually for non-HotSpot architectures) Enable Web Start support (via NetX).
