Java Plug-in 1.3 Product Now Available
|
|
Java Plug-in software enables enterprise
customers to direct applets or JavaBeans
on their intranet web pages to run using Sun's Java 2 Runtime Environment,
Standard Edition (JRE) instead of the web browser's default virtual
machine. Sun's JRE provides a Java Compatible
environment for today's widely adopted web browsers. That means
consistency and reliability when running applets.
In Sun Microsystems' ongoing effort to make it easy to deploy
applications and applets written in the Java programming language,
we now include Java Plug-in software as part of the JRE 1.3 Solaris/Linux/Microsoft
Windows Production Release. Including Java Plug-in software with
these JRE 1.3 releases allows deployment of applets to web browsers
that take full advantage of the latest capabilities and features
of the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v 1.3 (Java 2 SDKTM). Write Java 2 SDK v 1.3 software-based applets today
and deploy them to existing Netscape NavigatorTM or Microsoft Internet Explorer users immediately!
A single, free-of-charge download of the JRE 1.3 Solaris/Linux/Microsoft
Windows Production Release affords redistribution of both standalone
Java technology-based applications and browser-based applets pursuant
to the terms of the license. To access Java Plug-in 1.3 software,
please select the link below to the JRE 1.3 Production Release and
follow the download procedure.

To use Java Plug-in to run applets on
web pages, you need to convert applet tags on those web
pages. To do that, see the Java
Plug-in HTML Converter page. The HTML Converter is
a tool, included with the SDK, that automatically converts
applet tags to the format required by Java Plug-in. You
can also convert pages manually if you want, though that
is not recommended for most web authors/developers. To
do manual conversion, see Java
Plug-in HTML Specification.

software rather than the browser's default Java
virtual machine.
