When a dummy jar file is specified in the archive or cache_archive these jar files are downloaded even when the applet doesnot need any resources in these
jar files to run the applet.
Here are scenarios in which the jar files are downloaded .
1. archive="jartest.jar,carch.jar" where carch.jar has some abc.txt which is not required for the applet (applet doesn't need any resources from this jar file)
but carch.jar is downloaded and cached.
2. archive =jartest.jar
cache_archive=carch.jar
In this case also the carch.jar is cached.
To reproduce the problem :
1. Install Java Plug-in Merlin build 79
2. Run the following applet
http://sqesvr.sfbay.sun.com/deployment2/sridhare/ws/tests/jarcaching/BAT/classes/single/newsrc/html/another.html
for second scenarios run ,
http://sqesvr.sfbay.sun.com/deployment2/sridhare/ws/tests/jarcaching/BAT/classes/single/newsrc/html/archver.html
3. Bring up the Jar cache viewer from the Plug-in Control Panel
you can see the dummy jar file (carch.jar ) is cached.
