The Java Embedding Plugin is a utility that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent versions of Java (1.4.X) on Mac OS X. When used together with an updated version of Mozilla's MRJ Plugin Carbon (included in this distribution), the Java Embedding Plugin's functionality is currently available to recent versions of Mozilla, Firefox and Camino. But in principle any web browser could use one of the Java Embedding Plugin's two APIs to add support for Java 1.4.X.
Version 0.8.7 of the Java Embedding Plugin works around a bug/design-flaw in Firefox 1.0 that caused the MRJ Plugin to crash while doing LiveConnect. It also improves the handling of applets in tabs in Camino, and makes many other bugfixes and improvements.
