Detect unpatched AppletViewerPanel so we fail early on plain OpenJDK.
2010-12-01 Andrew John Hughes <[email protected]> * acinclude.m4: (IT_CHECK_FOR_APPLETVIEWERPANEL_HOLE): New check to ensure sun.applet.AppletViewerPanel is public (via the patch in IcedTea, applet_hole.patch). * configure.ac: Invoke the above macro. Don't call IT_CHECK_FOR_CLASS for the same class (the above macro handles this too). * README: Mention this limitation.
