Apple's latest Java update requires you periodically enable the Java plug-in manually. Here is how this works in OS X.

As i am a beginner in java & i need this applet badly for a Power Grid presentation in my college I will really appreciate if anybody could help me out with this.

Although Java initially was hailed in the mid-1990s as a way to run client-side applets, the platform instead became known for its server-side capabilities.

Fourth, the Java Security Manager, which provides support for running applets by sandboxing untrusted downloaded code, will be removed with the JDK 24 release in March.

The security patches, issued by Oracle, correct Java vulnerabilities that have lingered in Web browsers.

A Java update for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7 sets Java applets to not run automatically on all browsers, expanding a feature that was first introduced to Safari in April.
