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 0.8.4 now fully supports Apple's recent minor update to their JVM -- Java 1.4.2 Update
2. It substantially improves handling of keyboard
and mouse events when browsing applets in tabs in
Carbon browsers (like Mozilla and Firefox). And it
fixes several other bugs.
