Hi Kendell,

yes this is an enterprise edition. But i am not sure about the
differences to the opensource one.

I'm not sure about the java-atk-wrapper: is it possible to tell
firefox what java installation to use? Currently i'm just using JDK
1.8 but if it would help i would of course just install the 1.7 stuff
and build the atk-wrapper into it.

But maybe we can already make things simpler by reconfiguring the ui.
There are a lot of "remove gadget" or "edit gadget" widgets, so maybe
this would be an option, too. Well i cannot reconfigure it myselve but
our Jira Admin would assist with these things..
