Javaplugin Project
Java Embedding Plugin is a utility (currently in beta release) that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent versions of Java (1.4.X) on Mac OS X. Currently it supports recent versions of the Mozilla "family" of browsers, when used together with an updated version of Mozilla's MRJ Plugin Carbon (included in this distribution). 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.
The current versions of the Java Embedding Plugin and the updated MRJ Plugin Carbon have been tested with Mozilla

What's New
Version 0.9.7.5:
- Fix a security-related bug in the MRJ Plugin JEP, having to do with JavaScript-to-Java LiveConnect.
- Work around changes in Apple's latest Java updates that cause previous versions of the Java Embedding Plugin to leak all Java applets.
- Work around another change in Apple's latest Java updates that can cause spurious permission failures on OS X 10.6.X when applet code is accessed via LiveConnect from JavaScript.

Java Embedding Plugin is a utility (currently in beta release) that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent versions of Java (1.4.X) on Mac OS X.

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.
The current versions of the Java Embedding Plugin and the updated MRJ Plugin Carbon have been tested with Mozilla 1.6 and 1.7.X, Firefox 0.8 and 0.9.X, and Camino 0.7 and 0.8.X on OS X 10.2.8 with Java 1.4.1 and OS X 10.3.5 with Java 1.4.2 Update 1 and Java 1.4.2 Update 2.
The current version (0.8.6) of the Java Embedding Plugin has not been tested with Java 1.4.2 "plain" or on Mac OS X 10.3.3 or 10.3.4. But previous versions of the JEP (e.g. 0.8.2) worked in these environments, and so (I believe) should version 0.8.6.
Apple's Java 1.4.2 and above have one additional requirement, unrelated to the Java Embedding Plugin -- an appropriate version of the JavaPluginCocoa.bundle must be present in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.

1. Fix a security-related bug in the MRJ Plugin JEP, having to do with
JavaScript-to-Java LiveConnect.
This resolves the following bug (to which access is, for the time
being, restricted):
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589041
2. The Java Embedding Plugin is now able to read user-specified Java
runtime parameters on OS X 10.5.X and 10.6.X, even in Apple's
latest Java Updates for these OS versions.
This resolves the following bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3033144&group_id=107955&atid=649116
For more information see getRuntimeParamsFromJavaHome in
AppletView.m.
3. Allow Java applets to read the "http.agent" property. This
resolves a problem with JMOL applets (http://jmol.sourceforge.net/)
running on OS X 10.6.X: Before this change, they would always fail
with an access violation trying to read this property.
For more information search on "http.agent" in AppletView.m.

"5. The Java Embedding Plugin currently won't build on Apple's
forthcoming Mac OS X 10.6 (SnowLeopard)."
"6. The Java Embedding Plugin currently doesn't support user-specified
Java runtime parameters on Mac OS X 10.6 (SnowLeopard)."
How then, can this plugin get 4 1/2 stars when it DOESN'T EVEN WORK with Snow Leopard?

As for the 4 1/2 stars, you can clearly see that there have been 16 others (besides yoursellf) who have posted comments/reviews and there have been over 3,500 downloads of this version of the software. It does not appear that you have anything to be SCREAMING about.

What is going on that SeaMonkey, Camino, and Firefox can't operate nicely with it?
10.3.9 + Java Security Update

SeaMonkey, Camino 1.0 alpha 1,
Firefox 1.0.6 still will not load
any java applet for Yahoo.

I have the same problem, I am having to use Safari for playing Pogo games. I had forgot how slow Safari is.

I have made sure to 'touch' modification date of MRJplugin. Didn't though touch "Java Applet.plugin" and "Java Applet Plugin Enabler" since on those, the readme only says 'check the file dates' but nothing else.
Any ideas?
