Question of how to check the JVM version

Hi all,

I have a quick question.
I am a beginner of JAVA and want to check what version of JVM the
client is using. I think that "System.getProperty("java.version")"
would work.
My question is, what registry key on the client side (suppose IE
Brower on Win2K3 OS) is read to check the java version? I need the
detail info.

Thanks
NK

It might be that no registry key is checked at all, and that the JVM
might just return a hard-coded value.
