The respective classes are not to be removed now from the JDK but they will be removed later with another version. JEP 289: Deprecate the Applet API is already “Completed.” As a result, several classes including Applet, JApplet and others, and the appletviewer utility are to be marked as “deprecated” when JDK 9 will be made generally available this summer, according to the current schedule. Oracle advises developers to quickly find a different solution if they are still using applets.
Firefox 64-bit for Windows was released from the start without support for most plug-ins. Firefox 52 ESR (32-bit) will continue to support plug-ins, being the only possibility to continue to run Java applets. Mozilla builds a separate edition for enterprises called Extended Support Release (ESR) which comes with updates and fixes for 1 year, but these are not targeted to the general public. Support for Flash will be phased out at some point later. Except for Flash, the general release of Firefox 32-bit will no longer support plug-ins, including Java applets. Firefox is going to stop supporting them soon.įirefox, the last browser to support NPAPI plug-ins, is supposed to ditch them in early March when version 52 is planned to be released. Oracle has recently published a new post in the series “Moving to a Plugin-Free Web,” advising developers to find replacement solutions if they still have Java applets running in production.
