>Sun has rewritten the browser Java plugin > >Category: JavaView the technorati tag: Java > >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.
