I assume you're talking about a Windows PC's Java.

It's an issue, Java applet "clashes."  (Also sometimes happens with 
Internet Explorer itself because it's at least very difficult to run two 
IEs on the same system.  Firefox doesn't seem to have that restriction.) I 
know IBM solved it in Host On-Demand in the past couple versions by adding 
the functionality to our applets to let them choose which installed JVM to 
use.  (The Administrator can configure that.)  If the newer applet could 
add comparable function to their code you'd be all set.  (I believe many 
applet vendors are doing just that.)

In the meantime I can think of a workaround.  There's the old separate 
browser trick.  For example, put Firefox on the system, then configure the 
newer JVM to only provide plug-in support for that browser.  Or, if the 
newer applet supports Java Web Start, then you don't even need a separate 
browser.
