The Java Embedding Plugin is a utility that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent versions of Java on Mac OS X. When used together with an updated version of Mozilla's MRJ Plugin Carbon (included in this distribution), the Java Embedding Plugin's functionality is currently available to recent versions of Firefox, Seamonkey and Camino. But in principle any web browser could use one of the Java Embedding Plugin's two APIs to add support for Java 1.4.2, J2SE 5.0 and (where available) Java SE 6.
New in this version:
•Mouse-move tracking now works in Java-created windows. Versions 0.9.7 and 0.9.7.1 of the Java Embedding Plugin had a bug that prevented mouse-moved events being sent to Java applets running in Java-created windows. This resolves the following https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495278
•Mouse events and timers are now handled much more responsively. When you move or drag the mouse across a Java applet that responds to mouse moves or mouse drags, you're now much less likely to see gaps or delays. The same is true of applets that change rapidly on a timer (e.g the NOAA radar applet at http://www.weather.gov/radar_tab.php).
•The "Java Information" link in the JEP's about:plugins display has been updated (from http://gemal.dk/browserspy/java.html to http://browserspy.dk/java.php). This resolves the following: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494150
