Newbie Question

I have been through the Dietel chapter on Java 3D, and been to some
on-line courses on Java-3D, and have done some interesting stuff with
it, but I want to know the following:

Can I make an applet with the current version of the Java Plug In for
IE, or is that never going to happen? If this is the #1 question in
the Intergalactic FAQ, I apologize in advance.

You can configure which JVM IE uses. If you use Sun's JVM, everything
should work fine. If you use the MSJVM, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't
work (however, I haven't actually tried it). Microsoft dropped support for
MSJVM a long time ago. MSJVM only implemented the Java 1.1 standard, and
didn't even do it correctly (it has unfixed bugs). We're currently at Java
1.5, with 1.6 coming out soon.
