That seems very strange.

The Java-plugin has cache that is separate from the browser cache.

On Win32, there should be a Java coffee cup labeld Java Plug-in in the
Windows Control Panel.

On Mac OS X it is under Applications -> Utilities -> Java -> Java 1.4.2
Plugin Settings

My experience is that the Java Plug-in *reliably* updates based upon the
date/time of the file on the web server.

If it is selecting the incorrect file, then I would look suspiciously at
my web server ... and *I* would try to diagnose what timestamp information
is being returned for JmolApplet.jar ... While this is something that I
would do I realize that it is probably not something that is easy for you
to do.
