What's New in Java Plug-in 1.2

Java Plug-in 1.2 has the following new features:

• Tailored specifically for Netscape Navigator running on Solaris^TMplatforms. Other Java Plug-ins, available from Sun's Java Software group, are developed for use with Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator running on Microsoft Windows platforms.

• Includes the latest Production release of the JRE tuned for Solaris (JRE 1.2.1_03). Other versions of Java Plug-in do not include a JRE.

  Note -

  Sun does not support the use of any JRE prior to 1.2.1_03 with Java Plug-in 1.2.

• Installs at the system level by default, so you can install the plug-in on a centrally-located server and all users can access the plug-in over NFS.

• Can coexist on the same machine with Java Plug-in 1.1.2 (in different locations). With other versions, you can only install one Java Plug-in on your machine.

• Uses native threads. Java Plug-ins available from Java Software use green threads. See the Java White Paper for more information on Java multi-threading.

• Prints applets. You can now print applets with Netscape versions 4.5 or compatible.
