Hi all, the following developers note (http://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation) describes the roadmap for 'Google Chrome' to drop the plugin interface (NPAPI) needed to run Java applets in the browser.
According to it, for 'standard' users the Java-Plugin (and the Java Jmol version with it) will no longer work in April 2015. Expert users will be able to re-enable it if the know and activate this flag ( chrome://flags/#enable-npapi) until September 2015. Then the plugin interface will be removed completely from the program code. As far as I understood it they don't plan to implement a different plugin interface. The Firefox developers also seem to plan to remove the NPAPI plugin interface in the near future but they don't seem to be as rigorous as Google regarding an alternative plugin interface. (Sorry, I can't name a reference for this because I stumbled onto it some time ago.)
