Java Plug-In all set to get a facelift

Filed in archive Application Development on November 21, 2007

Even though Java Plug-In has been around for quite some time but it has also brought in various problems such as freezing of browser, browser incompatibility issues and in some cases it has even resulted in crashing of JVM but it looks like Sun is making effort to counter all these issues by rewriting the Java plug-in.




It was the complexity of the existing base code which had been causing the problems stated above in various browsers. Also JRE version selection and JVM command line argument specifications were not supported in the earlier Java plug-in architecture therefore making it pertinent to make applets as potent as applications which were launched via Java Web Start. The company will be offering the new plug-in for Linux, Solaris and Windows which it supports. So with the new plug-in get ready for some better user experience and increased level of support for advanced applet content!!
