But if you as a provider of a webpage need to run a Java 2 applet and you don't use the HTMLConverter then the client's browser would have no way to know if it has the correct VM or not. Perhaps the 1.4 "Plugin" can tweak IE and Netscape 6 such that a Java 2 VM is ALWAYS run (actually I believe Netscape 6 only uses Java 2), but at least with Netscape 4.7 it runs Java 1.1 if you use an applet tag. Using the HTMLConverter is what tells the browser to use Java 2 (1.2,1.3,1.4).
