A number of us in the Java group have been involved with helping
Netscape do the Java integration. As a result we know exactly what's
going on. To restate what has been said by arthur: *only* the java
applet support has any relation to Java, everything else including
their scripting language has *no* relation. Trust me.

|You KNOW they are not?
|
|Personally, I was hoping that netscape had put a layer on top of java, to
|create their own "java for idiots" language, that is a cross between java,
|perl, and logo. It would then have hooks to call plugins.
|The plugins would presumably be standalong C-compiled things. Although if
|they are being nice, plugins should also be ALLOWED to be java code as well.
|
|Access to plugins could be done through some security module, like file and
|host access is handled with hotjava.
