>Ben and I are sitting in a Sun briefing where Ken Russell of Sun is announcing 
>that they have ground up rewritten the Java plugin in the browser. The 
>features of the rewrite are:
>
>    * Improved scripting support (java/javascript integration is better)
>    * Improved reliability
>    * Supports more powerful applets (applets can ask for more memory)
>    * Better windows vista support (signed applets)
>    * Enterprise features (run one applet in a particular JRE version)
>
>This will be released via a Java 6 update beta and they will have the new 
>plugin turned off by default, and you will be able to turn it on via a switch 
>in the Java control panel. It has been tested in IE 6, 7, Firefox 3 alpha, and 
>they are hoping that Mozilla back ports the fixes to Firefox 2.
