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. - - - - - Timothy F.
