has anything in regard to the rather disgraceful performance of java-app(let)s as in 10.0.x-10.1.x been improved in the latest builds of 10.2?

Jaguar will have an updated 1.3.1, but I don't know if it's faster.

Apple is theoretically working on the JDK 1.4. But applets sadly need more than that to run well under any OS. They need a Browser to support them. Currently the best support is in Mozilla with the Java plugin available seperately for download. However, Apple has a somewhat spotty record in Java and I have the feeling that the roller coaster ride that is the relationship between Apple and Sun is the cause of this. Sun was probably not exactly pleased to read about the Xserve because it competes nicely with Sun's Cobalt offerings.

Why would you say this? I mean M$ and Sun HATE each other with a passion, yet Windows have Java 1.4.1 available for download??

So much for OS X to have the most advanced Java plaform of any OS..sounds like a crock of **** from Apple. hushmail.com applets still wont work in OS X yet Windows an Linux do work

The Java platform that Apple provides in OS X is indeed excellent. However, it's up to the browser developers to provide a nice implementation. I'm not intimately familiar with the hushmail.com applets, but it's likely either the fault of whichever browser you're using, or the writers of the applet.

In the case of Linux, you're using Sun's own Java implementation with their well regarded Java browser plugin.

Dude its EVERY OSX browser...nothing works i have tried them all.

Additionally i installed Linux an finally managed to get a Java plugin running but the browsers crashed as soon as the applet began to load. Browsers there were Galeon and Nautilus and Netscape.
