Technically the –enable-liveconnect is in the icedtea project, instead of OpenJDK, but that's a nit. The reason it's not enabled is that it's alpha-quality at best.

In the post from February that you referenced, Thomas mentioned Sun's new Java plugin. That one actually has a lot of promise, if Sun will put it into OpenJDK. They are at least thinking about it.

Ken Russell: As the technical lead of the new Java Plug-In project, I strongly support incorporating it into OpenJDK. Discussions on this topic are ongoing within Sun, and I hope that news will be forthcoming in the near future.
