Bug 4973000 was re-categorised to "jck/tck_j2se/doc" subcategory.
However, some Plug-in problems described in this bug remain unresolved.

Java Plug-in 1.5.0 Developer Guide ("Using the Java Plug-in Control
Panel to Set Plug-in Behavior/Options" section) reads about
Java runtime parameters setting in Plug-in Control Panel:
...
You can override the Java Plug-in default startup parameters by
specifying custom options in the Java Runtime Parameters field.
The syntax is the same as used with parameters to the java command line
invocation. See the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE)
documentation for a full list of command line options.
...

However, Plug-in implementation requires "-classpath=<path>" template
for "-classpath" parameter instead of "-classpath <path>"
as expected (Please, run "java -help" command to see java command line
parameter list).

Either Plug-in implementation or documentation should be changed.

Please, see bug 4973000 Evaluation for more details.
