I disagree. I've had lots of success with Java3D applets and Netscape
(I've never used and never intend to use IE). A couple of tweaks to the
output of the HTMLconvertor is required, and everything works a treat.
The problem is basically Sun not registering all the sub-types for the
MIMEs that the plugin should be listening for. Eg, it registers
application/x-java;version=1.3
but not
application/x-java;jpi-version=1.3
That the HTMLconvertor generates. The 1.4 plugin registers 1.4 for
jpi-verion, but removes the 1.3 registration, hence causing the plugin
convertor to fail.
