DESCRIPTION
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 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.

    KOSOVAR1  From the developer's own notes that are included with the plugin:

    "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?

    JCRAIG  If you are using nightly builds of Firefox or Camino, you need not do anything as JEP is included in the app package. Otherwise, see the info on this page:

    DPG4450GUY  Well, partial success - Mozilla 1.7.11 operates correctly - passes Sun dot com's JVM test (dancing duke) and chat.yahoo.com . . .

    What is going on that SeaMonkey, Camino, and Firefox can't operate nicely with it?

    DPG4450GUY  0.9.4 didn't fix it on my machine.

    SeaMonkey, Camino 1.0 alpha 1,

    Firefox 1.0.6 still will not load

    any java applet for Yahoo.

    :-(

    MARKJMK  Here is an explanation of why it is not working. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1291312&group_id=107955&atid=649116

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

    ZIRE71MAN  This has stopped working...I don't know if it's the new version of firefox or the new java update that just came out. I tried to download the beta from sourceforge but it didn't work either. Now I have to switch to Safari to play yahoo games...

    ANONYMOUS  Firefox 1.06 on OS-X 1039: "dyld: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin file is not a regular file: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/MRJPlugin.plugin (can't possibly be a library)" and closes.

    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?
