Effected OS : Windows

Problem description :
1) Install JRE 1.6.0 on the windows machine
2) Invoke applet with mimetypes specific to 1.6.0 inside the mozilla browser
from the following location in
http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment1/deployment_mustang_int_exec_ws/deployment/tests/mimetypes/pluginhtml-default/Default.html
3) It should load fine
4) Now install JRE 1.5.0 on top of 1.6.0
5) Try invoking the same applet again(specific to 1.6.0)
6) Applet won't get loaded(complain about JRE collision)
7) Try invoking the applet specific to 1.5.0
http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment1/deployment_tiger_exec_ws/deployment/tests/mimetypes/pluginhtml-default/Default.html
It should get loaded fine
8)Invoke control Panel from <jre_home_1.6.0>/bin/javacpl
9)Go to Advanced Tab > <Applet> tag support
Check the "Mozilla and Netscape" option
10) Try invoking the applet again which is specific to 1.6.0
This time it should load properly
11) Try invoking the applet again which is specific to 1.5.0
This time it shouldn't get loaded
 To make it work,Invoke control Panel from <jre_home_1.5.0>/bin/javacpl.
 Go to Advanced Tab > <Applet> tag support
 Check the "Mozilla and Netscape" option


So bottom line is if mutliple JRE's are installed on the system then, with mozilla browser, applet with mimetypes(jpi-version specific to particular JRE) works only and only if the option "Mozilla and Netscape" under "<Applet> tag support" of Advanced Tab is checked.
Discussed the issue with Deva/Xiaobin and they strongly felt that behavior should be documented inside the Plug-in docs otherwise users will have problems running the applets inside the mozilla with multiple JRE's installed on the system
