           Summary: Blackberry incorrectly only allows netscape plugins
                    named jnext and flash
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ben at meyerhome.net


The original implement ion of FrameLoaderClientBlackBerry::createPlugin was a partial copy from another port.  In the Qt port there is some workarounds for flash which is why this exists there.  Sadly the bits that were copied made it so only flash worked, but as flash was the only plugin on the system this issue was not noticed until QNX tried to get jnext working.  Tracing it down to this bit of code rather then correcting it they hardcoded the jnext into the same block as flash was.

The blackberry port isn't specifically suppose to only allow jnext and flash, but was an accident due to the way this code was developed.
