Since Apple's Safari is based on (and contributed back to) KDE's Konqueror,
you might want to experiment with Konqueror and see how it supports StGeorge.
(you might have to upgrade to newer KDE version to have these additions).


For instance, see the news item at:

The slogan for Java really should have been 'write

It used to be true, especially when Sun didn't supply a more-or-less
"unified" JVM across major platforms. Also MS probably managed to smear
Java's face by calling their own, unportable, creation "MS-JVM".

On the server side at least, and from my personal experience, things actually
worked "as advertised" since the late 1.2 days and onwards - servlets/jsps/EJB's
etc worked quite well for me on variaty of platforms (os/cpu) and servlet/application
engines.


These days if you stick to Sun's JVM 1.4 your applets should be fine.
