The Java Embedding Plugin is a utility that allows other web browsers than Apple's Safari to use the most recent available versions of Java on Mac OS X (Java 1.4.X and, on Tiger (OS X 10.4.X), Java 1.5/J2SE 5.0 and Java SE 6). 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, Camino, Seamonkey and the Mozilla Suite. 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 and (where available) Java 1.5/5.0 and Java 6.
New in this version:
Altered the MRJPluginJEP to accomodate changes to the nsIScriptSecurityManager interface in recent trunk versions of Mozilla.org browsers (including recent pre-release versions of Firefox 3). These changes broke JavaScript-to-Java LiveConnect. JEP 0.9.6.4 will unbreak JavaScript-to-Java LiveConnect in current Mozilla.org distros and in the Firefox 3 release ... presuming there are no further changes to the nsIScriptSecurityManager interface. This change resolves https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421855.
The Java Embedding Plugin now sets the maximum heap size to 96 MB on OS X 10.4 and higher. This conforms with what Apple does in its Java plugin as of "Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5". I tried to accomplish this in JEP 0.9.6.1, but wasn't successful.
Requirements: OS X 10.2.8 or later.
