plug-in 1.3.0_01 does not clean jar cache

java version "1.3.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_0
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed mode)


the java plug-in 1.3.0_01 does not remove old jar files from the cache when a
new version is detected. to reproduce add all three cache params to your
<OBJECT> tag. set cache_option = PLUGIN, cache_archive = applet.jar, and
cache_version = 1.0.0.0. load the web page. the applet gets cached and the
cache.table has one entry for it. update the cache_version parameter to
2.0.0.0. reload the page. another version of the jar gets cached, but the old
version remains. however, the cache.table has the correct entry - only one
entry for that particular jar file. this is new to plug-in 1.3.0_01. also,
pressing the "clear jar cache" from the plug-in control panel only deletes the
cache.table not the actual jar files.
