Java Upgrade Guide: Migrating From the Microsoft VM for Java to the Sun JRE
This guide explains why and how to upgrade applets from the Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) for Java to the Sun JRE. In 98% of cases, applets run unchanged under the Sun JRE. For the remaining 2%, this document points to migration tips. The results of upgrading should be richly rewarding, as the Microsoft VM is based upon version 1.1, an early, 1997 version of Java technology. The latest, standards-compliant version from Sun Microsystems is 1.4.2. Released in 2003, it includes many enhancements over the early version.
