A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
hi,

The Java Plugin does not seem to support Hypertext applications. Applications loaded by mshta.exe seems to still use the Microsoft JVM.

JUSTIFICATION :
Hypertext applications have a number of advantages over HTML documents including better control of the applications appearance and relaxation of certain security constraints.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Use of Sun JVM from inside hta applications for example to connect to relational databases.
ACTUAL -
MS JVM used.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
I've written a small java applet which runs under the Java 2 plugin:

(Press "clear it" to see the VM version and source code)

However running as an hta, the MS JVM is used.

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Continuing to compile with -target=1.1
