           Summary: REGRESSION: NPAPI plugins can no longer throw JS
                    Exceptions in Tot Webkit
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: GoogleBug
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: playmobil at google.com


Due to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16829 NPAPI plugins haven't been
able to use NPN_SetException() to throw exceptions in WebKit.

However, [WebScriptObject throwException:] functioned from inside NPAPI plugins
and could be used as a workaround.

In ToT WebKit neither of these methods work anymore effectively leaving NPAPI
plugins with no way to throw JS exceptions.

This bug blocks Gears since we rely heavily on this functionality.
