Line 34:

...Because of incompatibilities between different versions of the JRE, rather than rely on pre-installed JREs, many applications install their own JREs in order to function predictably. Java applets can detect which version of Java they are running on and the high level of compatibility between different versions of Java ensures it is a simple matter to support older versions of Java whilst making use of the additional features of later versions.

: I've found a high level of compatibility between Java versions, to the extent that the same byte code runs on all versions. See [http://clesh.com/guest/ Clesh] for one example (needs broadband). Also, services like Google mail and in fact Google itself have become more popular and these are web based applications. [[User:Stephen B Streater|Stephen B Streater]] 22:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
