Unsure exactly. The + is very odd in there as googling I nearly always see something like:
application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2 Could you have typo'd that? + does sometimes mean > 1.4.2, so it could be something they've done (or they could have typo'd it). Quite possibly their applet-html is out of date. To put an applet in a webpage, Java developers have had to use increasingly cryptic incantations and it seems that an older incantation no longer works with the jpi-version or something. Googling, I can see various complaints from the Linux-Mozilla users. Another possibility is that OS X doesn't pick up 1.4.2 but only 1.4.2_03 or something silly. These are the kinds of reasons I steer clear of applet jobs :) Painful world.
