Percent on Web able to run JApplets? – LeoWong

Everyone who has some sort of Java should be able to run:

1. Prayer 1

This applet uses g.setColor(Color(float r, float g, float b, float a)).
I think it won't run on the Microsoft JVM, or perhaps even JRE1.1:

2. Prayer 2

This is a JApplet:

3. Circles of Jesus 3

Does anyone know what percent of the people who can run the first applet can run the second and what percent the third? I suspect that from first to second there would be a steep drop, but from second to third not much. Is this true? Are there studies that can be consulted?

I have IE6, Opera 6.50, and Firefox running all these applets on the Sun JVM 1.4. I've run them on IE5.5. Apparently 2 and 3 won't work with IE5.0 even with JVM 1.4.

So it's not _mainly_ a browser problem (60% of my visitors use IE6), but a JVM problem -- most people use the MS JVM.

I hear that MS will stop supporting its JVM. Is that true? If so, will browsers come with the Sun JVM (latest, I hope, not 1.1), or will people still have to go to the Sun Java site and download their JVM? I don't mean: will MS supply the Sun JVM, which they may or may not do, but will makers like Dell, etc., automatically start including the Sun JVM with IE, which I suppose will remain the dominant browser?

Thanks for responses. Still looking for statistics.

Thanks, I'm glad they worked for you.

All three worked fine for me using JRE version 1.4.1_01. Microsoft hasn't been Java/Sun friendly for a long time now...

All 3 worked for me - Windows XP, Firefox, Sun's Java 2 1.4.2_03

Looks like quite a few people are still using Microsoft's JVM (they list OS or browser, but don't list Java version) .

JVM probably makes a bigger difference than OS and browser.

I'm not sure how newer versions of Windows will handle Java. If it's not included with Windows, then I'm quite sure OEMs will probably make a deal with Sun to include their JVM - which would be good news, because Microsoft's JVM has always been pretty low quality. I'm glad it's going away . . .

Agree on everything you say. Good quote from Lewis -- could you give a reference?

I found it here, while looking for quotes to add to my webpages as part of a PHP quote script:

http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/C._S._Lewis/

Here's my quotes collection for my webpages:
http://www.cobraa1.com/index2.php?pageid=Quotes

If you look at the bottom of my pages in the gray footer, you'll see a randomly picked quote. Basically, I have a PHP script that gets the quotes from a text file.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find a citation.

[Later] Apparently from The Great Divorce, which I haven't read.

For those who can't see the circles, I put a little screen shot of one of them toward the bottom of j4j

Of course, there are many circles, all of them random, so this is just a taste.
