The issue with the plugin is having a browser that matches your JRE.
The new browser plugin technology in JavaSE 6 update 10 suggests a
solution. Since the JRE is now run out of process the VM and the
browser don't have to match. A 32bit browser could use either a 32bit
VM or 64bit VM, and
i think those issues are being resolved
i've ran into this blog entry a while back:

Two things:
1. There are cases where one needs 64-bit, even for a desktop
application (think engineering apps).
* Embed a browser in one of these and you suddenly /really
/want a 64-bit Java Plug-In.
2. The size of the impact of 64-bit pointers has been worked aro
You can't confirm or deny, that it will happen with update 12? ;)

Absolutely. And for many programs this is awesome. But for many
others, such as your typical browser or desktop based app that spends
99% of it's time waiting on user input, it's overkill. I don't want
to dis 64bit computing. I just want to explain that, like any

Yeah but memory is dirt cheap and it's now almost a decade ago 64bit
x86 CPU's were introduced. The beauty of 64bit is that many operations
which had to be broken up in composites on 32bit (i.e. on long and
double) can now be done in one go by the JVM. This has performance
impacts but probably mor
Keep in mind that going 64bit means many memory structures double in
size. 64bit is great for certain applications that really need to
access more than 4GB of memory, but for most applications
(particularly desktop apps) it's overkill that wastes memory.

Hi,
In Episode 215 there was a discussion about an ME app that would sent
out GPS location/speed info which is then used to identify traffic
jams etc. A suggestion was made that this information should not be
provided by the ME app, but simply acquired from the Telco
providers... well, such a sol
Hi,
Thanks for mentioning the release of GlassFish v3 Prelude in #217. I
just wanted to say that this is a fully supported version, not a beta
or a preview. Maybe our choice of "Prelude" to define a release that
is not a fully certified Java EE app server wasn't as good as an
innovation as the ot
