Have anyone seen any sign of a Java plugin in the latest builds of X?
It's standard in jre 1.3 for most operating systems and MacOS X would gain a lot if it would have a plug-in. Does it?

a kind of netscape/ie plug-in that makes it possible to run java 2 within a browser. It's like quicktime plug-in but instead of running a movie it runs a java applet.

Oh, I know the answer to your question then. If you read the release notes for Omniweb and other browsers it says that Java isn't working in them because Apple hasn't implemented it yet but apple will for Mac OS X final. I'd assume that Apple will hold true to that for the final. I mean, Java is a big part of most browsers and I thiknk that they know that. I don't know about nthe latest build, though.

i beleive that since java is built right into OSX, an updated browser wont need a plugin, it can just call the java code and implement it in the core java layer.

God I hope not, cause that would really set things back. The whole point of having the Java Plugin is to keep JRE implementers honest and up to date. And thereby minimise the risk of pulling a Microsoft. The plugin automatically updates itself if you're running an older version. In the case of windows I don't have to wonder whether or not the user has the latest version of the plugin, or worry about inconsistencies between Microsoft's implementation and Sun's. There is only one Java standard and it is Sun's. ;-)
