Java Plug-in Software
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 1.4.2 Solaris/Linux/Microsoft Windows Production Release. Including Java Plug-in software with these JRE 1.4.2 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 1.4.2 (Java 2 SDK[TM]Write Java 2 SDK v 1.4.2 software-based applets today and deploy them to existing Netscape Navigator[TM] or Microsoft Internet Explorer users immediately!
 
A single, free-of-charge download of the JRE 1.4.2 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 1.4.2 software, please select the link below to the JRE 1.4.2 Production Release and follow the download procedure.
