Java Embedding Plugin 0.9.3, bugfix release

The Java Embedding Plugin is a utility that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent available versions of Java on Mac OS X (Java 1.4.X and, on Tiger, Java 1.5).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 and (where available) Java 1.5.

Version 0.9.3 substantially improves earlier versions' workarounds for the large number of unnecessary updates that Mozilla-family browsers send to Java plugins (which can cause applets to flash annoyingly, sometimes several times a second). It also fixes several crash bugs, and a problem that caused the Print dialog to be messed up in Carbon browsers (Firefox and Mozilla/Seamonkey) on Mac OS X 10.4.X (Tiger).
