Well, the plug-in has not been worked on in a while. Netscape 4.5
has Java 1.1 built in and they have a JIT that is a bit better than TYA
in their JVM. (Even the Linux Netscape does on x86 - just like on
Windows x86 systems.)
Sun did much of the original activator work and it is not part of the
JDK 1.1 source license we had.
