Does anyone want to write a user-friendly walk-through to help normal users get Java running? I may have the time to assist, though I'm doubtful I could do the whole thing. ScreenLeap has a good start: http://www.screenleap.com/troubleshooting-java http://www.screenleap.com/troubleshooting-java The advice they give varies based on the detected browser and OS (as it must) but it's somewhat out of date, and isn't intended for a general audience. The applets on my educational site are signed JARs (a wasted expense, it seems), and they are explicitly run within the sandbox, but every few months it gets harder and harder for students and their parents to get Java to run. And now in Firefox my interactive components have just become scary-looking blocks of DO-NOT-ENTER signs and warnings that are totally unwarranted for my site. If you work up the courage to click through the browser's warnings, then of course you get round 2, the warnings that the plugin itself pops up. I dearly wish to see some of the details on the evil that's being done with Java applets, and if all of these aggressive measures are actually doing anything to stop real risks, or if the main effect is to kill sites like mine. These do not seem to be actions based on data anymore.
