What is the point of JS knowing what Java version
the browser is running?

Java applets are better versioned using either a
loader applet (which can easily determine the
Java version) or launched using web start (which
can do Java versioning, or perhaps even Sun's
(invalid) nested <OBJECT></EMBED> elements.

In the final event there is some point to JS knowing
the Java version, simply write a version checker
applet and write it in the page (using JS - if you like)
and then query it from JS via a public method.
