Oracle Says It Is Killing the Java Plugin
#2
Good Riddance!

"Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, and by extension the Java plugin, in 2010. The Java plugin, much like Adobe's Flash and Microsoft's Silverlight utilises NPAPI, an old Netscape Plugin API. Over the years, these plugins have caused more trouble than good. We have seen plenty of security attacks that used Java plugin as the target link.

Not everyone will be happy about the demise of Java, of course. Aside from developers, many enterprises are likely still running older Web browsers that need Java, and created plenty of applets for the same."
