Hi And what is the problem ? When you first want to run : Shockwave, RealPlayer, Media player, QuickTime etc --> they tell you : To run that movie you need this or that plug-in Would you like to download it ?? And everybody says Yes, download the plug-in and watch the movie or the flash animation. That's the way to go.
Microsoft will never include Quicktime plug-in on Windows --> they rae competitors --> same thing for Applets. If you want to write your applet with AWT then no problem, no plug-in. But if you want to use Swing and all the cool features --> then a user must download the plug-in THAT'S IT !! Where is the problem ?? Where I have a problem with is Microsoft XP where there will be no JVM. Download a plug-in for Swing it's ok but a download to get a basic JVM that is not cool --> and clearly a strategic move from Microsoft to try to slow down Java band Wagon ---> they are so late with .NET And another thing for developpers in a big Intranet : put the plug-in on a CD and install it yourself --> 30 sec per computer...
