Yes, he's not working at Sun anymore.

Not really. Paul sent me an update to that article quite a few moons
ago. At that stage he marked it as "please don't post until we (sun)
give you permission" because it contained a bunch of advanced stuff that
was not yet in the various JDK setups and also the appropriate files on
Sun's site. We never got that, but we've been working from it here to
get things working.

Believe it or not, we've been working on this exact issue over the past
couple of days. I can say that it does work, and works very well.
Now, we can say that auto-install does work As Advertised as we're using
it for Xj3D currently. We're just validating everything correctly right
now, and hope to have something to publish, probably by the end of the
week (we are waiting for our digitial certificate so that we can sign
the Xj3d and j3d.org jar AutoInstaller JAR files as a demonstrater). If
that goes to plan, we will put together the document next week and post
it on j3d.org.

Unfortunately, the process is not exactly a simple and is going to take
a bit to explain everything that needs to be done.
