Thanks a lot Ilja for your reply. Still I have some questions related to this.
During java 1.1 days, I used to run applets in a browser and I didn't see any Java Plug-In at that time.
Why do I need it now?
What are the example situations where I can do that only in the presence of Java Plug-In?
What are the example situations where I don't need Plug-In.
Is this Plug-in a part of JRE? If so, is it an OPTIONAL part or MANDATORY part?
I will appreciate if you could throw some light on this.
Similarly, if you could give me some more examples which illustrate where Java Webstart is needed and where it is not needed, I will be very thankful to you.
Regards,
Soma
