Using the Java plug-in (AIX, Linux 32-bit, and Windows only)

The Java™ plug-in is a web browser plug-in that you use to run applets in a browser on AIX®, Linux® (32-bit only), and Windows systems.

Note: The following Java plug-in capabilities are not supported for Windows on the AMD64 architecture:
  • Java Kernel
  • JQS
  • DeployTK
  • Patch in Place
  • Online installer
  • Java auto download
  • Java auto update

Allow enough time for applets to finish loading, otherwise your browser might seem to stop. For example, if you click Back and then click Forward while an applet is loading, the HTML pages might be unable to load.

For more information about the Java plug-in, see: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/applet_dev_guide.html.

Note: The Classic plug-in, sometimes referred to as the First-generation plug-in, was deprecated in IBM® SDK, Java Technology Edition, Version 7. This plug-in is not supported in this release. Instead, use the Next-generation plug-in to run applets in the browser.
