JDK 1.1 Compatible Browsers
This page describes JDK1.1 compatible browsers. The information here is bound to change, this document is version '$Date$

Most of the applets on these pages require JDK 1.1 (JDK stands for the Java Development Kit). JDK 1.1 is supported by Netscape 4.06 and higher, and Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher.
If your browser does not support JDK 1.1, you might see the following message in your Java console window (which you can open under Netscape's "Communicator" menu):
# Applet exception: error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.awt.TextArea: method <init> (Ljava/lang/String;III)V not foundTo get JDK 1.1 to work with Netscape 4.03 - 4.05, you need to download a patch. The patch can be found at the
developer.netscape.com
download page.
Java Plugin
The Javasoft Java Plugin is a software package that allows browsers to use Sun's Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on IE3.0 and later and Netscape3.0 and later. The plugin can be used to run applets that require JDK1.2.Limitations:
