Java 1.6 update 7 with Java 1.6 update 10 Next Generation Plugin, possible?
Hello,
I have a quick question. A client I work with has a need to use Java 1.6 update 7 to access their Oracle applications. We need to have the plugin (Next Generation) work with this version, even though I am aware that it does not come with it. I tried moving the npjp2.dll plugin in to the Firefox plugins, and although it shows up as the plugin inside Firefox, Java never loads.
Is there a way to force upon Java 1.6 update 7, the Next Generation plugin for it to be compatible with Firefox? I am currently trying this on Firefox 10 due to browser security features that killed my testing in later versions.
Disclaimer: 1.) I understand Firefox 10esr is old, and prone to security vulnerabilities 2.) I understand Java 1.6u7 is also old and prone to security vulnerabilities
Please advise. Thanks!
Dan

You can use the control to switch between Never Activate and Ask to Activate is on the Add-ons page, could you install both in different directories? and create separate registries?
You would have to create a registry key that points to the other Java version, just like there is one for the current Java release.
