Improved Java/JavaScript communication.

Both selection of a specific JRE version, or any in a particular family, are supported in the new plug-in. This feature is designed for enterprise customers which prefer to qualify their applets against either a particular JRE version or a particular JRE family. Each individual applet instance may request a different JRE version on which to run. Old-style applets can embed these arguments in the HTML of the web page. JNLP-launched applets simply incorporate the command-line arguments and/or system properties into the JNLP file.

JVM command-line arguments may be specified on a per-applet basis, providing fine-grained control over options such as the heap size and Java 2D hardware acceleration features. Applets can now access JNLP APIs for persistent data storage, local file system access, and other useful functionality from sandboxed code. Developers can now reuse JNLP extensions for advanced functionality including the JavaFX run-time libraries, JogAmp (libraries for 3D graphics, multimedia, and processing), and planetary-scale terrain visualization within applets. The new plug-in offers the capability to launch applets directly from JNLP files, unifying deployment of Java content both in the browser and out of the browser (via Java Web Start). If something should go wrong while running the applet, or if an uncooperative applet refuses to shut down, the new Java Plug-In detects and handles the error condition gracefully the web browser is unaffected. The JVM running the applet is isolated from the web browser at the operating system level. This architectural change offers many advantages and enables several new features.

Instead of executing applets in the same operating system process as the web browser, the new plug-in runs one or more Java virtual machine instances ('JVMs') which connect back to the browser for full interoperability with the surrounding web page.

The next-generation Java Plug-In offers a completely redesigned architecture.

The next-generation Java Plug-In, introduced in Java SE 6 Update 10, provides powerful new capabilities to applets in the web browser, while improving the overall reliability and functionality of applets in a backward-compatible manner. Java Plug-In technology (hereafter the 'Java Plug-In'), which is included in the Java Runtime Environment, enables Java applets to run in popular web browsers on the desktop.
